Can you copy files from one machine to another using SSH?
Either the source or destination must be a local file. However, if you log in to a remote machine with ssh, you can copy files between two remote machines on that machine’s command-line. Also, an important thing to remember is that you can only scp to a folder on the target machine to which you have permissions.
Can You SCP a file to a Linux VM?
SCP a file to a Linux VM. For the first example, we copy an Azure configuration file up to a Linux VM that is used to deploy automation. Because this file contains Azure API credentials, which include secrets, security is important. The encrypted tunnel provided by SSH protects the contents of the file.
How to copy files from a VM to a local directory?
The following command copies files in the /home/azureuser/logs/ directory on the Azure VM to the local /tmp directory: The -r flag instructs SCP to recursively copy the files and directories from the point of the directory listed in the command.
Is there a way to share files between two VMS?
While the best way would be to use the network, like SSH, SCP, rysnc or NFS, there are ways to share files at the virtual host level between 2 VMs. However, this is typically harder to configure and more prone to errors. I would suggest a network approach for all but special use cases.
How to copy files via SSH-pragmaticlinux in Linux?

Other applications such as sftp and rsync can also make use of SSH to secure its network transaction. All these applications allow us to copy our local files to remote server and to copy files from remote server to our local machine.
How to limit the number of active SSH connections per system?

Try to SSH into the system and you can’t access the system more than the maximum number of allowed logins on the system.

What does SFTP stand for in SSH protocol?
SFTP – SSH SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream. It was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0 to provide secure file transfer capabilities.
