Remote file access

SSH can also be used to transfer files via SFTP or SCP.

• Windows: FileZilla or WinSCP or Pscp.exe(command line)
  
• Macintosh: Fugu or included scp
  
• Linux, other UNIX variants: included scp or other utility
  

Syntax for the command line (pscp and scp) applications:

[p]scp -P 1022 local_file username@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:remote_file
[p]scp -P 1022 username@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:remote_file local_file
[p]scp -P 1022 -r username@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:remote_dir local_dir

For example, these equivilent commands will both copy myfile.c from your computer to the lab. The period in the 2nd command means "use the same file name on the remote computer"

scp -P 1022 myfile.c doej99@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:myfile.c
scp -P 1022 myfile.c doej99@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:.

These are the same as above, except in the reverse direction. Files are copied from the lab to the local computer:

scp -P 1022 doej99@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:myfile.c myfile.c
scp -P 1022 doej99@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:myfile.c

The same rules apply for copying a directory recursively:

scp -P 1022 -r doej99@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:program1 
scp -P 1022 -r program1 doej99@ssh.acs.uwosh.edu:.
