scp from remote host to local host [closed]
There must be a user in the AllowUsers section, in the config file /etc/ssh/ssh_config, in the remote machine. You might have to restart sshd after editing the config file.
And then you can copy for example the file "test.txt" from a remote host to the local host
scp your_username@remotehost.com:test.txt /local/dir
@cool_cs you can user ~ symbol ~/Users/djorge/Desktop if it's your home dir.
In UNIX, absolute paths must start with '/'.
