Strange question.

You can use sftp (secure FTP) instead.
sftp is a FTP program which performs all operations over an encrypted ssh tunnel.

Code:

sftp username@mysite.com

If you mean you've been connecting to an ssh server and working on it remotely through ssh then you could try using the sftp command to connect to it giving ftp functionality

i dont really understand what you mean.

are you saying you have a machine running an ssh server and want to download files from it? in this case you want scp/sftp in linux and pscp/psftp in windows

or are you asking how to download from a site using ssh, you can only do this if the site supports it like https:// for secure http

i dont mind bumping but please dont do it after 15 minutes, give it a few days.

nor 14 minutes.

Mathieu's suggestion should work but you can use scp instead if you like

scp username@host:/path/to/file /path/to/dest

Ehm, we suggested sftp, try that

instead of ssh what_ever_the_computer_is

do

sftp what_ever_the_computer_is

Don't connect with SSH.
Use sftp. It works like any other FTP software.

Code:

sftp UserName@mysite.com

Oh im still confused i just want to get a file from an anonymous ftp can some1 please give me an example to a file.
All i know is how to connect to the ssh. And get the prompt up.

acid_kewpie · 08-25-2003, 04:29 PM

you want to get one file currently on a remote server to a local machine via the ssh protocol? easy... just use sftp or scp.

sftp user@mysite.com

scp user@mysite.com:/home/user/blah .
