Wincsp and Putty alternatives

Hello

I was using on Windows the Wincsp and Putty for my servers and i want to ask if any alternatives exist on Backtrack Linux (Ubuntu based) ...

Which is the best solution to replace those two for Linux?

Thank you

you mean scp and ssh?

I mean software Wincsp and Putty for protocols sftp and ssh :)

Right, the commands are sftp and ssh

Your question is a bit like asking for a Windows version of WINE, or a Linux version of Cygwin. sftp, scp, and ssh are native programs in Linux. They were born in Unix/Linux. WinSCP and Putty are GUI tools that allow you to access those protocols from a Windows environment.

I think you're just thinking about things backwards. You aren't looking for Linux replacements for WinSCP and Putty, you're looking for the originals that WinSCP and Putty are based on.

Just open a terminal, and run "sftp", "scp", or "ssh". You can use the man pages to see how to use them, but it should be pretty straight forward:

Code:

ssh user@host

Code:

sftp user@host

Code:

scp user@host:/path/to/remotefile localfile



or



scp localfile user@host:/path/to/remotefile

Any GUI solution for WinSCP/sftp?

You can use Filezilla for linux also.
