scp Command Generator

## What is scp?

`scp` (secure copy) transfers files between two hosts over SSH. Either the source or the destination (or both) can be remote, written as `user@host:path`.

## How to Use

1. **Source and Destination**: one or both can be `user@host:path`. 2. **Toggle Flags**: `-r` for directories, `-P` for a custom port. 3. **Copy & Run**: paste the generated command into your terminal.

``` scp file.txt user@host:/tmp/ scp -r dir/ user@host:/backup/ scp -P 2222 file.txt user@host:~/ ```

### Common flags - `-r` — copy directories recursively - `-p` — preserve modification times and permissions - `-C` — compress during transfer - `-P <port>` — port (capital P; ssh uses lowercase -p)

### Tips - The colon matters: `user@host:/path` is remote, `user@host` (no colon) is a local file named after the host. - For large or resumable transfers, prefer `rsync` over `scp`.
