Copy files from a server via ssh to dropbox.
I have a user in a linux server (Debian) with ssh access, and have some files on it. I need to copy the files to my Dropbox. but I donot want to copy to my Dropbox in my PC and Laptop, I want to first copy to my Dropbox account directly then sync to my PC and Laptop. Is scp work?

I'm not totally sure I follow the question. Why not add Dropbox to the server? dropbox.com/install?os=lnx

Here is a better option, a SHELL script that will allow you to upload/download/delete files from the terminal;

Tested and works just great.

Although it's a good option, I wouldn't like to install private stuff from someone else to rely my database backups on my server. The CLI looks like a better choice IMO.
