So, I'm sitting here at work remotely logged into my ssh server at home. I'm wondering if their is anyway to copy files from my windows c: drive to my ssh session. Anyway to do this without FTP? Thanks

I assume you're using something like putty on your Windows PC to connect to OpenSSH on your Linux PC? If so, yes you can.

Have a look in your putty directory for psftp.exe and pscp.exe - the help file (also in the putty directory) tells you how to use them.

Thanks Steve. I'll take a look around for those files since I'm using putty. I saw some post mentioning using scp or sftp but I'm not following how to use those. It seems they are meant for file transfers from linux to linux boxes on the same private LAN's. I need to xfer from Remote private LAN to my private LAN at home. I'll check out the putty ftp features. Thanks.

Does the LAN where the Linux box sits have port forwarding from the internet to the Linux box? If not, there will be a problem initiating the connection since I'd expect that the Linux box has a private (non-routable) IP address.

Once port forwarding is set up, this is no problem. Any SSH packets arriving at your work's firewall are re-directed to the Linux box.

Thanks again Steve. I'm only forwarding one port (My SSH port) on my router at home to my Linux box. I actually D/L'd a nice SSH program called ZOC. I just went ahead and used that and it makes transfers simple. I just click transfer button and choose file and it sends it right over. Works great.

please use pscp.exe , the homepage of putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s.../download.html

I recommend that you use WinSCP, a really powerful and featureful open-source GUI SFTP/SCP client for Windows.

Thanks a lot for the additional replies. I'll give those tools a try as well.

I had a chance to try this and it really kicks butt!
