Overview
The document uses a Lighthouse instance with CentOS 7.6 as an example to describe how to upload and download files via SCP.
Note:
To get started, ensure that you have configured the Lighthouse instance admin account and password. If you haven't set or forgot the password, please reset password. Directions
Obtaining a public IP
Log in to the Lighthouse console and obtain the public IP of the target Lighthouse instance on Instances page. Uploading files
1. Run the following commands on the local server, and upload the files to the Linux-based Lighthouse instance.
scp Local file address Lighthouse instance account@Lighthouse instance public IP/domain name:Lighthouse instance file path
For example, you can run the following command to upload the local file /home/lnmp0.4.tar.gz to the same directory of the Lighthouse instance whose public IP is 129.20.0.2:
scp /home/Inmp0.4.tar.gz root@129.20.0.2:/home/Inmp0.4.tar.gz
2. Enter yes and press Enter to confirm the upload and enter the login password to complete the upload.
Downloading files
Run the following command on the local server to download a file from a Linux-based Lighthouse instance.
scp Lighthouse instance account@Lighthouse instance public IP/domain name:Lighthouse instance file path Local file address
For example, you can run the following command to download the file /home/lnmp0.4.tar.gz from the Lighthouse instance whose public IP is 129.20.0.2 to the same local directory:
scp root@129.20.0.2:/home/Inmp0.4.tar.gz /home/Inmp0.4.tar.gz
