Yes, SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) can work on Windows. While SCP aligns with Unix-like operating systems, you can use it on Windows with the help of third-party tools. One popular tool for enabling SCP on Windows is PuTTY, a suite of utilities for secure communication.
PuTTY includes a command-line tool called pscp (PuTTY Secure Copy) that functions similarly to the native SCP on Unix-like systems. To use pscp, you need to download and install PuTTY on your Windows machine. Once installed, you can open a Command Prompt and use the pscp command to securely copy files between Windows and remote systems that support SSH.
To securely copy the specified file from your Windows machine to the specified location on the Linux server using pscp, use the code below:
pscp C:\\path\ o\\your_file.txt username@your_linux_server_ip:/path/on/linux/server
Replace the file path, username, server IP, and destination path according to your setup.
