SSH Transferring Question

Mark2020 · 12-17-2002, 06:47 PM

Recently I have setup an account to where I ssh into my BSD Server which I am trying to transfer a file from my Hard Drive to the Server. I have tried wget, but that fails, I also tried rz, which errored, so I did a ~C rz which resulted in a 'Permission Denied', can someone tell me if I am doing this completely wrong?

Thanks for help

I'm assuming that you are transferring from Windows to BSD, but I'll try to make this a general as possible. If you can login via SSH, install SCP or SFTP client on your source machine. Using SCP you can do something similar to:
scp source_files user@server:/path/to/destination/directory/

You should also make sure that you have the proper permissions for the directory that you are copying the files to.
