How to copy a file from another server to local?
 
Hi all,

I try to copy a file from another server/machine to local. The another server/machine name is s003ap06-acct and the file locates under /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log

I use the following command
Code:
cp s003ap06-acct:/var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log ./
But I got:
Code:
cp: cannot stat `s003ap06-acct:/var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log': No such file or directory
Someone can help?

cp command will work on local machine only. If you want to copy from remote machine then you will need to use scp or rcp
