The simplest way to copy files in Linux is to connect to the server using sftp://192.168.1.11

You can also use the scp utility. For example, the following command can fetch database distributions from another Linux server and place them in the /tmp/oracle/12.1/ directory:

# scp marley@192.168.1.5:/oracle/linuxamd64_12c_database_*.zip /tmp/oracle/12.1/

If you are working on Windows, the simplest way is to use winscp.

If you need to set the owner of the downloaded archives to the oracle12 user

# chown -R oracle12:oinstall /tmp/linuxamd64_12c_database_*.zip
