Re: Transferring files over SSH in the console
As others have commented, you can use scp or sftp. However, I can imagine that embedded might not have the sftp service or the scp executable. If that's your case, you can always do: # cat file | ssh remote 'cat destinaton' Pardon my replying to myself, but I've now seen a bunch of the rest of the thread, and it seems to me that, if the set of commands you want to do is repeatable, then maybe what you want is to do most of the remote-system operations through SSH commands this way? Someone else may have already suggested this, but something like: # cat file.tgz | ssh remote 'cat dest.tgz' (or scp, if available) # ssh remote 'tar -xf dest.tgz' # ssh remote 'sh dest/installer' (or whatever) # ssh remote 'cat dest/install-log' remote-install-log (or whatever) This way, you still only have the one shell, and/but you pay the price in having to prefix all the remote operations with ssh remote. However, you could script this on the local system (which is, I think, why you want a single session, right, so you can script it?), and then the extra typing doesn't really cost you much. Thanks for the idea, Andrew, but I'm actually not scripting this. Right now I have two windows open: one for sftp and one for shell commands. I was hoping to save myself the trouble of switching windows, keeping the cd in sync, etc, with something that supports both sftp commands and ssh commands. I don't want to increase my workload by prefixing all the commands. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Transferring files over SSH in the console
You are getting many responses, so perhaps this idea has already been rejected, however --- I use ssh AND sshfs. I get shell access to the remote machine with ssh and for file access I mount the portion of the remote fs that a want on a local mount point. I know there are a lot of machinations going on under the covers, but it does work. Put the mount point in your home directory. If you can ssh to root on the remote, you can also get root access to the remote file system. It works for me. Yes, Paul, and it what I am currently doing. However, I want to have it all in one window and have the pwds in sync. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Transferring files over SSH in the console
I can have as many open connections as I want, it's on the LAN. But I would _prefer_ just one terminal window for both commands (SSH) and file transfers. First of all, I believe the ssh protocol (not necessarily the ssh program) already support exactly what you want: logging in and, if you want, sending files through the already opened tunnel. Exactly! The protocol obviously supports this as both sftp and the shell are over the same ssh protocol. That is why I thought that this ability might exist. PuTTY does exactly that. If you are logged in, you can press a button to open a (local) file browser for the remote files. Without new password entering. So I guess it uses the same tunnel. I see, then it is already in the right pwd. I'd still prefer to keep it all in one window but I will play with Putty. Thanks. So here's your first solution: use putty. It exists for Linux also. Second solution: if the ssh protocol supports what you want but the ssh program does not, then complain to whoever maintains ssh (program) to include that option. For example, a hotkey to switch it into sftp mode in the already open connection. That would be more of a feature request than a complaint. I suppose that OpenSSH might be the project to file the feature request to. I'll get on that. More solutions (sshfs, or just giving up and typing several commands) have already been posted here. Many workarounds, but the solution seems to be to file a feature request with OpenSSH.

Re: Transferring files over SSH in the console
Yes, but then I cannot get a regular shell for vim and such. I need to both run commands and also transfer files. Well, you can't. But sshfs might help, you mount a remote filesystem (accessed via ssh) and use files as in any other filesystem. I had considered fuse, but there is no real advantage.

Someone else may have already suggested this, but something like: # cat file.tgz | ssh remote 'cat dest.tgz' (or scp, if available) # ssh remote 'tar -xf dest.tgz' # ssh remote 'sh dest/installer' (or whatever) # ssh remote 'cat dest/install-log' remote-install-log (or whatever) This way, you still only have the one shell, and/but you pay the price in having to prefix all the remote operations with ssh remote.

But I would _prefer_ just one terminal window for both commands (SSH) and file transfers. First of all, I believe the ssh protocol (not necessarily the ssh program) already support exactly what you want: logging in and, if you want, sending files through the already opened tunnel. PuTTY does exactly that. If you are logged in, you can press a button to open a (local) file browser for the remote files. Without new password entering. So I guess it uses the same tunnel. So here's your first solution: use putty. It exists for Linux also. Second solution: if the ssh protocol supports what you want but the ssh program does not, then complain to whoever maintains ssh (program) to include that option. For example, a hotkey to switch it into sftp mode in the already open connection. More solutions (sshfs, or just giving up and typing several commands) have already been posted here. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkum91QACgkQ+VSRxYk440+4pQCgtPJZ02AUmIcZ7cEN/kUL1BHe V64AnRtd2VkXPx4N3XDKLM2U2T5PogI4 =7xt3 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
