access to client -machine directories while logged-in as ssh

Question

im logged into server by ssh from macOs terminal username_on_server@server_linux:/$ but i couldnt come inside the mac client (while im logging as server user), to change directory or smthing inside client machine to send to server machine e.g. I need to copy some file or directory from client to server as ssh but any changing directory refers to server

my-mac:~ newuser$ ssh 'username_on_server@server_linux'

username_on_server@server_linux:/home$ pwd
/home

Answer 1

Once you are logged into server_linux you cannot change/modify the client machine, basically the SSH connection is like if you were in the remote server. If you want to copy a file from client to server use instead scp

scp client_file username_on_server@server_linux:/server_path
