Linux CLI - SSH and Remote Access

You want to copy multiple files file1.txt and file2.txt from your local machine to the remote directory /data/uploads on server example.com as user bob. Which command correctly does this in one line?

Ascp file1.txt,bob@example.com:/data/uploads/ file2.txt

Bscp file1.txt file2.txt -r bob@example.com:/data/uploads/

Cscp bob@example.com:/data/uploads/ file1.txt file2.txt

Dscp file1.txt file2.txt bob@example.com:/data/uploads/

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand copying multiple files with scp
scp supports copying multiple files by listing them before the destination path.
Step 2: Analyze each option
scp file1.txt file2.txt bob@example.com:/data/uploads/ correctly lists both files followed by remote destination. scp file1.txt file2.txt -r bob@example.com:/data/uploads/ misplaces the -r flag after the sources, treating "-r" as a non-existent source file. scp bob@example.com:/data/uploads/ file1.txt file2.txt reverses source and destination. scp file1.txt,bob@example.com:/data/uploads/ file2.txt has invalid syntax with comma.
Final Answer:
scp file1.txt file2.txt bob@example.com:/data/uploads/ -> Option D
Quick Check:
List files then remote destination [OK]

Quick Trick: List all files first, then remote destination [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Misplacing the -r flag after source files
Swapping source and destination
Incorrect file list syntax
