I think A is correct. "to transfer the /root/sample file on a remote computer called appserver to the /var directory on the local computer, you could run the following scp command: [root@server1 ~]# scp root@appserver:/root/sample /var" "Similarly, to copy the /root/sample file to the /var directory on appserver, you could use the following scp command: [root@server1 ~]# scp /root/sample root@appserver:/var"
