+## 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!
