You should try to master SCP and SSH commands, explore different flag for each of these commands.
There are a lot of advanced options for SCP command, say for instance. You can enable compression, tell SCP to use IPV 4 or IPV 6 addresses etc.
As an exercise, you can also try to setup password less entry to your server, this is handy when you have to move files across servers, using automated scripts.
This can be a security bad.
We have covered Putty a bit, you can customize putty's look and feel, such as fon or font size. There is so much more to learn.
I hope that this course will set a good foundation for you to explore advanced topics.
I also hope that you learnt fair bit from this short course. If you have any feedback to share then do so. Thank you!.
