## Limiting scp Bandwidth when copying
* Bandwidth is specified in Kbit/sec, e.g., to limit the speed upto 20 Kbyte/sec, set the `bandwidthlimit` to 8*20 (=160)
* This is time-saving when a huge amount of data is to be copied over slow internet
```shell
scp -l bandwidthlimit root@hostname:/source_folder/* /destination_folder/
```
## Unknown exact file location on remote server
* `ssh` to the remote server
* Go to the file location using `cd`
* Get the file location using `pwd` command and copy the output. `pwd` stands for **Print Working Directory** and that makes it easier to remember.
* Leave the ssh shell by pressing `Ctrl + D`, and then paste the full directory path in your `scp` command. This saves a lot of remembering and typing!
