I am using ssh to connect to a remote machine.
Is there a way i can copy an entire directory from a local machine to the remote machine?
I found this link to do it the other way round i.e copying from remote machine to local machine.
Easiest way is scp
scp -r /path/to/local/storage user@remote.host:/path/to/copy
rsync is best for when you want to update versions where it has been previously copied.
If that doesn't work, rerun with -v and see what the error is.
