The easy way would be: scp file.txt [email protected]:/root/ The harder way would be something like: ssh [email protected] sudo sh -c '"cat > /root/file.txt"' < file.txt But this requires a no-password-given sudoer permission on 192.168.155.187 because even if you allocate a pseudo-terminal with "ssh -t", you're still using the stdin stream for data, so sudo can't use it to ask you for your password.
