Hi,

I will like any answers given. I have looked into this and tried many different things, nothing is working. It's a simple question and I appreciate any help.

How do I move my .txt folder in linux terminal to my desktop as a folder?

Then, how do I use scp to open that folder?

Thank you so much

I think you are best starting with a very basic tutorial on the bash shell.

Google introduction to linux command line etc, no one can really help you more than these tutorials can.

One hint - .txt is a bad name for a folder, since files or folders which start with a dot like .txt are considered as hidden by Linux by default. You can then only see them with ls -la, not standard ls

Try making a new one called mytext or similar.
