You can use sftp non-interactively or interactively much like ftp. Have a look at man sftp. To To create a symbolic use (where target is the file that already exists and linkname is the name of the link):

Code:

ln -s target linkname

You can use the scp command which works like the cp command e.g.

Code:

$scp filename user@host:documents/files/

To copy a directory

Code:

$scp -r directory user@host:documents/files/

#

Symbolic links on local machines are created using the ln command e.g.

Code:

$ln -s filename /some/path/filename
