Code:

scp -r 1.1.1.1:/source_directory 2.2.2.2:/target_directory

rsync is another option, especially if you are re-copying the data or resuming an interrupted transfer. Log in to 1.1.1.1 and then transfer to 2.2.2.2

Code:

rsync -av /source_directory/ 2.2.2.2:/target_directory/

rsync copies only the changes, so it will save time and bandwidth after the first copy. It works over SSH by default these days so it is secure like scp.

thank you, found these command make my transfer things become easier.
