scp command is used to transfer the files(directories) from one unix machine to another.Port 22 is used for scp.
Login to machine linux1 and you want to tranfer the file /opt/testfile to the /home/user1/ directory in machine linux2
#scp /opt/testfile user1@linux2:/home/user1/

If you want to copy the directory /opt/testdirectory then
#scp -r /opt/testdirectory user1@linux2:/home/user1/

The options for scp are

-p

Preserves the modification and access times, as well as the permissions of the source-file in the destination-file

-q

Do not display the progress bar

-r

Recursive, so it copies the contents of the source-file (directory in this case) recursively

-v
