The minimum amount, or smallest UTXO, you can send in one transaction is 1 ADA.
Set the amount to send in lovelaces. 1 ADA = 1,000,000 lovelaces.
First, find the tip of the blockchain to set the invalid-hereafter parameter properly.
Block Producer Node
Copy currentSlot=$(cardano-cli query tip --mainnet | jq -r '.slot')
echo Current Slot: $currentSlot Block Producer Node
Copy amountToSend=10000000
echo amountToSend: $amountToSend Set the destination address which is where you're sending funds to.
If you want to sent some ADA to the great CoinCashew team use: addr1qxhazv2dp8yvqwyxxlt7n7ufwhw582uqtcn9llqak736ptfyf8d2zwjceymcq6l5gxht0nx9zwazvtvnn22sl84tgkyq7guw7q

For this purpose you can use scp (secure copy)
Local HOT environment
Copy # PORT SOURCE (Block Producer) TARGET (Local Mashine)
scp -P 9999 user@12.123.123.123:/home/tx.raw /home/ Sign the transaction with the payment secret key.

Copy # PORT SOURCE (Local Mashine) TARGET (Block Producer)

Please be patient. It could take up to 20min till the transactions are confirmed by the blockchain. This depents largely on the grade of congestion at the time where you have sent your transaction. You can check the block chain load at Cardano Block Cahin Insights .
