Help

1. -r Recursively copy all directories and files.
2. Always use full location from /, Get full location by pwd.
3. scp will replace all existing files.
4. Host name will be hostname or IP address.
5. if custom port is needed (besides port 22) use -P portnumber.
6. . (dot) - it means current working directory, So download/copy from server and paste here only.
