SSH
Sometimes it is very convenient to transfer files through local network.
This could be done by rsync, scp, sftp.
Nevertheless the host must have openssh-server installed.
Rsync
Sometimes rsync is preferred than scp and sftp as it is able to copy hidden files most of the time.
$ rsync -avzhe ssh <username>@<ip>:/<PATH_TO_BE_COPIED> <DESTINATION_PATH>Scp
$ scp <PATH_TO_BE_COPIED> <username>@<ip>:/<DESTINATION_PATH> by installing sshpass, the password can be embedded in the command as well
$ sshpass -p <PASSWORD> scp /<PATH_TO_BE_COPIED> <username>@<ip>:/<DESTINATION_PATH> Sftp
To get files from a host, sftp is a good choice
$ sftp <username>@<ip>
$ get -r <PATH_TO_BE_COPIED> <DESTINATION_PATH>References
