scpHow to overwrite files using SCP?
SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is a secure way to transfer files between two computers. To overwrite files using SCP, you can use the -o
flag. This flag will overwrite existing files with the same name.
Example
scp -o <source_file> <username>@<hostname>:<destination_file>
This command will copy the source_file
to the destination_file
on the remote host, overwriting any existing file with the same name.
Code explanation

: Flag to overwrite existing files with the same name<source_file>
: Path to the file to be copied<username>
: Username of the remote host<hostname>
: Hostname of the remote host<destination_file>
: Path to the destination file on the remote host
