Correct,
I setup a firewall one time for an "eccentric" entrepreneur, who insisted
that we use the same root password on everything, and didn't want a Bridged
iptables (passthrough) with FORWARD tables, just INPUT tables (so he could
run daemons and access from either side on the firewall [easy to fuzz]).
This wonderfully obsessive man was also known to be a bit dyslexic and
entered the scp syntax backwards (recursively sending a whole directory to
the /), therefore overwrote the firewall configurations.
Be careful with the "."
So, the syntax is:
GET STUFF from OTHER BOX:
scp
root@otherbox.someplacegood.com:/etc/shadow /tmp/johnhackfile
PUT STUFF from THIS BOX:
scp myfile.tgz
root@otherbox.someplacegood.com:/tmp/
Get or put a whole directory:
*scp -r
clown@laughaminute.com:MyDir/09 ./r9/*
copy directory ``MyDir/09/'' recursively (i.e., the directory and all its
contents) from
laughaminute.com (where you are "clown" into a new directory ``r9/'' in
your current working directory on localmachine.
*scp -r ./r9/ **
clown@laughaminute.com:MyDir/09*
Copy directory ./r9 recursively (i.e. the directory and all its
contents) from localmachine to
laughaminute.com using the clown users' path settings and permissions.
Sometimes a better alternative is to ssh to the remote computer, bundle the
files you want into a single
tar<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_%28file_format%29>file, scp that
file over, and unpack it where you want the files.
