OpenSSH File Transfer
Hi, i was wondering if it is possible to transfer files from a server to a client using openssh
An example of what i mean: Using an ssh program like putty: Log into SSH from a local windows or remote windows host, and download a file to the machine accessing the server. Is this possible? and if so what command would be used? |

It's called scp. Where SSH stands for "secure shell", SCP stands for "secure copy", they use the same port and the same protocol. I don't believe putty can do it, but there are other Windows programs that can. WinSCP is one, or Cygwin will provide you with a Linux-like CLI that you can scp to/from as well.
Usage is simple: Code:
scp localfile user@host:/path/to/remotefile Code:
scp user@host:/path/to/remotefile localfile |
Awesome, thank you :)
this was basically my main reason for having a server, so i could basically use it as my own skydrive. thanks to you its working lol |
