[SOLVED] copy remotely file once I'm logged in with ssh

Nareto · 12-09-2011, 05:35 AM

Hi, one thing that happens fairly often to me is this: I log in via ssh, do some things, and then at a certain point I need to copy a file to my local computer. I have to open another terminal and enter the scp command.

Isn't there a more direct way to copy files, without opening another terminal, i.e. from within the ssh session?

EDIT: using midnight commander, while not the solution I was asking, is nice enough... possibly even better

Glad you found a solution to your problem. I'm just removing your thread from the zero replies list. Why do you have to open another terminal to use scp, though? Why can't you do it from your SSH session?

Edit: If your problem is that you've only got one terminal in the SSH session, you can use GNU Screen to get around that.
