How to Upload a File via SSH and Command Line
scp ~/Downloads/NestedT.png root@64.207.144.103:/var/www/vhosts/davidwalsh.name/httpdocs/demo
My preference for daily work is usually GUI applications, like Visual Studio Code for text editing and Cyberduck for remote file server management. I'm also a huge fan of automation, so I do try to learn the command line equivalents of UI functions. My latest desire was wanting to know how to upload a file via SSH from command line.
To upload a file to a remote server from command line, use scp and the file path with the remote destination:
scp path/to/local/file.png user@hostname:/path/to/upload/
I'll be honest: I'll probably still use a GUI for personal uploading, but knowing how to upload via automation is still super valuable!

I didn't realize that I truly was a nerd until I could admit to myself that ASCII art was better than the pieces Picasso, Monet, or Van Gogh could create. ASCII art is unmatched in its beauty, simplicity, and ... OK, well, I'm being ridiculous; ASCII...
Its worth noting that scp is considered deprecated.
