1 Article purpose[edit]

The article aims to give some information useful to start with the scp Linux command.

2 Introduction[edit]

The scp[1] copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh[2] (remote login program) for data transfer, uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh.

This article focuses on the file transfer between a host PC and a STMicroelectronics board over a network connection.

3 Installation on your target[edit]

The scp is installed on the STMicroelectronics images via the package openssh.

4 Installation on your PC[edit]

The package openssh-client must be installed on your host PC to perform a file transfer over network with the scp.

On Ubuntu: 

 sudo apt-get install openssh-client

5 Getting started[edit]

  • Your host PC and your board are connected to your local network through
  • Upload a file (<host file path>/<example.txt>) from your host PC to your board: 
 scp <host file path>/<example.txt> root@<board ip address>:/<board file path>/

Example (assuming that <board ip address> is a.b.c.d):
 Copy the example.txt host PC file in the /home/root/ board directory
  echo "scp example: from host PC to board" > ./example.txt
  scp ./example.txt root@a.b.c.d:/home/root

 Check the result on the board 
  cat /home/root/example.txt 
 scp example
  • Download a file (/<board file path>/<example.txt>) from your board to your host PC:
 scp root@<board ip address>:/<board file path>/<example.txt> <host file path>/

Example (assuming that <board ip address> is a.b.c.d):
 Copy the example.txt board file in the current directory of the host PC
  echo "scp example: from board to host PC" > /home/root/example.txt
  scp root@a.b.c.d:/home/root/example.txt ./

 Check the result on the host PC
  cat ./example.txt
 scp example: from board to host PC

==Article purpose==
The article aims to give some information useful to start with the '''''scp''''' Linux command.

==Introduction==
The ''scp''<ref>[https://linux.die.net/man/1/scp scp - Linux man page]</ref> copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ''ssh''<ref>[https://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh ssh - Linux man page]</ref> (remote login program) for data transfer, uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ''ssh''.

This article focuses on the file transfer between a host PC and a STMicroelectronics board over a network connection.

==Installation on your target==
The ''scp'' is installed on the STMicroelectronics images via the package '''openssh'''.

==Installation on your PC==
The package '''openssh-client''' must be installed on your host PC to perform a file transfer over network with the ''scp''.

On Ubuntu:
 {{PC$}} sudo apt-get install openssh-client

==Getting started ==
* Your host PC and your board are connected to your local network through {{UpdateNeededForNewBoard|Point to the Ethernet connector (if any) of the new board}}
:* the [[STM32MP157CSTM32MP157x-EV1 - hardware description#MB1262-CN3|STM32MP157CSTM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board CN3 Ethernet connector]]
:* the [[STM32MP157X-DKXSTM32MP157x-DKx - hardware_description#MB1272-CN8|STM32MP157X-DKXSTM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit CN8 Ethernet connector]]

* The board IP address (''<board ip address>'') has been retrieved thanks to the [[IP Linux command line|''ip'' Linux command line]]

* <span id="Copy a file over network"></span>'''Upload a file''' (''<host file path>/<example.txt>'') '''from your host PC to your board:''' 
 {{PC$}} scp <host file path>/<example.txt> root@<board ip address>:/<board file path>/

 Example (assuming that ''<board ip address>'' is ''a.b.c.d''):
  Copy the ''example.txt'' host PC file in the ''/home/root/'' board directory
  {{PC$}} echo "scp example: from host PC to board" > ./example.txt
  {{PC$}} scp ./example.txt root@a.b.c.d:/home/root

  Check the result on the board 
  {{Board$}} cat /home/root/example.txt 
  scp example

* Download a file (''/<board file path>/<example.txt>'') from your board to your host PC:
 {{PC$}} scp root@<board ip address>:/<board file path>/<example.txt> <host file path>/

 Example (assuming that ''<board ip address>'' is ''a.b.c.d''):
  Copy the ''example.txt'' board file in the current directory of the host PC
  {{Board$}} echo "scp example: from board to host PC" > /home/root/example.txt
  {{PC$}} scp root@a.b.c.d:/home/root/example.txt ./

  Check the result on the host PC
  {{Board$}} cat ./example.txt
  scp example: from board to host PC
