    • Operation Demonstration

  3. Download the file 1.txt from the /home/luckfox directory on the development board to the PC: 

    adb pull /home/luckfox/1.txt .

Transferring Files with SCP​

scp (Secure Copy Protocol) is a secure remote file copy command based on SSH. It supports copying files or directories between Linux servers. Unlike cp, which only works locally, scp enables cross-server file transfer.

All data transferred via scp is encrypted, ensuring secure transmission.

scp is ideal for quick and simple transfers of a few files, especially in resource-constrained environments. For complex file transfers or backups, consider using rsync, which only transfers differences between the source and destination, saving bandwidth and time, especially for large or frequently updated files.

  1. Transfer a local file to the development board:

    scp  luckfox.txt root@192.168.10.95:/root

  2. Transfer a local directory to the development board:

     scp -r luckfox root@192.168.10.95:/root

  3. Transfer a file from the development board to the local machine:

    scp root@192.168.10.95:/root/luckfox.txt .

  4. Transfer a directory from the development board to the local machine:

    scp -r root@192.168.10.95:/root/luckfox .
