Linux command for copying a file from remote server location to our local machine

scp -r testuser@10.0.5.215:/home/testuser/tmp/hello.txt /home/elcot/hello.txt
I've used the above command to copy the file located at the server:10.0.5.215, location: /tmp/hello.txt username: testuser to my local machine local-username: elcot....
Could anyone help me to get the file located remotely....

    can you post the error you are getting?? try using rsync cmd, which runs over ssh protocol and furthermore provides a lot of configurable parameters.

    Just verify if you have healthy connection to the server. Apart from that if this is some kind of backup utility, I would suggest you to use rsync to take network backup for sharing files. It is secure as well
