I have one folder to copy that consists of PHP and similar files for creating a web site.
How do I copy one folder from the server (Linux Ubuntu) to the client PC (Linux Ubuntu) using terminal? Could I use ftp? For the terminal connection I'm using Telnet.
The folder location on the server:
qa@ubuntu:~/www/html/js
And I want to copy it to the client at:
qa@desktop2:~/home/qa/html
