Transfer files/folders remotely using ssh

Hi,

Today I learned hoe to transfer files and folder to a remote host by command line.Ya! I kno that we have GUI tools like filezilla but somehow its functionality is limited as today I was not able to transfer files as there was permission denied error in the filezilla.What I did...

1. Compress the folder
2. Run this command :

            scp ~/localfile_location  remote_username@ip_addr:remote_location
 
   3. You will be asked for the password.

   4. You are done.
