 ## Transferring files to/from the servers
 
-See this [page](/file-transfer) for how to transfer files to/from your local machine from/to the servers.

+In order to transfer files to/from the server, you can use any client that supports secure file transfers over an ssh tunnel.
+
+#### Transfer Files from the Command Line
+
+From the command line, we recommend using [scp](https://linux.die.net/man/1/scp). You can click the link for the complete man page. A few basic examples are reported below:
+
+To transfer a single file from the current directory in your local machine to your home directory in one of the servers.
+```
+scp myfile <user>@<server>:/home/<user>
+```
+
+Transfer a single file from your home directory in one of the servers to the current directory in your local computer:
+```
+scp <user>@<server>:/home/<user>/myfile .
+```
+
+Transfer an entire folder to one of the servers:
+```
+scp -r <path-to-folder> <user>@<server>:/home/<user>/<destination-path>
+```
+
+All examples above must be executed *from your local machine*.
+
+#### Transfer Files with a GUI Client
+
+There are also several GUI clients that can be used to transfer files to/from the servers using ssh/scp tunneling. One example is [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/).
+
+Some operating systems even have built-in tools to connect to remote ssh directories. Similar tools are also available in some IDEs (for example, in PyCharm and in the other JetBrain tools). See the guide on [Remote Code Deployment](/remote-code) for more details.
