copy files from server to computer
Hi,
I want to copy some files from a remote server (running Unix) onto my computer (running linux). I can ssh to the server. But the problem is I can't scp from the server to my computer (my university firewall blocks it). Also I can't ssh from the server to my computer. Is there any other way I could copy the files from the server to my computer? Thanks |
If you can ssh to the remote (Unix) server, maybe you can use scp (have you tried?). Just invert the arguments in the command line, that is from your local server do:
Code:
[lostidentity@linux ~]$ scp -p user@host:/path/to/some/file ./path/to/local/dir If this does not work, I think the only way is to put the files onto a free file hosting service (one accessible from the ftp command line) and download them from there onto your local machine. |
Cheers mate. It worked!
Earlier I typed in the scp commands at the server terminal and not on my local machine. I understand what's happening now. Cheers again. |
Cheers! :)
