How do I transfer a file to a Linux server?

If you administer enough Linux servers you are probably familiar with transferring files between machines, with the help of the SSH command scp. The process is simple: You log into the server containing the file to be copied. You copy the file in question with the command scp FILE [email protected]_IP:/DIRECTORY.
