Copy files from Windows to Linux

Sometimes you need to send files from Windows to linux, and using the scp command to transmit files in the command window is a good choice.

Assume that we need to copy the file 1.txt to the user directory of Linux (192.168.43.235).

  1. Acquire the linux user account, e.g. user
  2. In the directory where the file is located, open the Powershell window by right click with SHIFT key pressed. Enter the command
scp .\1.txt [email protected]:./

Enter the password according to the prompts, you can see that the upload is successful.

scp
