SCP is a network protocol which supports file transfers between Linux hosts. You can use this protocol to directly transfer files from a host to a IGEP Processor Board via Ethernet, Wifi, USB Ethernet Gadget, etc.

Use:

$ scp -r files_to_transfer destination_user@destination_host:/destination_path

Example:

Now let's transfer a file called file.text in your host PC to IGEP Board in /tmp/

In your Host PC open Terminal and type:

$ scp -r file.text root@192.168.5.1:/tmp/file.text 

You can repeat the process from the IGEP console, and transfer a file from IGEP to your Host PC.
