title: Select SCP as the delivery method for the snapshot.

  In the :guilabel:`Select Restore Destination` screen's
  :guilabel:`Delivery Method` field, select :guilabel:`Pull via Secure
  HTTP (HTTPS)` to create a one-time download link.
 
  - :guilabel:`Push via Secure Copy (SCP)` to download the backup to your server via SCP.
---
title: Enter SCP information.
stepnum: 5
ref: enter-info

  Enter the following:
 
  :guilabel:`Format`: Select the file format. The :guilabel:`Individual DB
  Files` option copies the data files directly to the target directory.
  This option is faster but requires additional file space on the
  destination server. The :guilabel:`Archive (tar.gz)` option downloads
  the data files as a ``tar.gz`` file that you must extract before
  reconstructing databases. For a replica set, you receive a single
  ``.tar.gz`` file. For a sharded cluster, you receive a series of
  ``.tar.gz`` files.
 
  :guilabel:`SCP Host`: Your server.
 
  :guilabel:`SCP Port`: SCP runs over port 22 by default.
 
  :guilabel:`SCP User`: A username for your server.
 
  :guilabel:`Auth Method`: Select either password or SSH as the
  authentication method.
 
  :guilabel:`Password`: If using a password for authentication, enter the
  password. To test the authentication, click :guilabel:`Test`.
 
  :guilabel:`Target Directory`: The server location to which to download the snapshot.

  MMS pushes the snapshot to the location you specified.

Additional information:

You can retrieve the snapshot via a link or by having MMS copy to your server via SCP. If you choose SCP, you must grant MMS access to the server, either by providing a username and password or by providing a username with an SSH public key.

To grant access via SSH public key, see :doc:`/tutorial/restore-select-delivery-format`.
