Secure copy SCP under Linux

Making a secure copy from / to site - and let's face it FTP is dead dead dead - If you have not done so it already then drop FTP

It could basically not be simpler - once ssh is in place on your system and web server just write:

COPY TO SITE:

scp ./somefilename.* username@example.com:exampledirectory/


COPY FROM SITE:

scp usernamee@example.com:exampledirectory/filename.* ./
