File xfer (localto remote) scp /local/path/source_file user@host:/path/[new_filename] You can use the -r switch to do a recursive xfer. Thanks I'll try these out I you don't have your public key on the remote site, you'll be asked for the password.

There I was trying my host name been 5 hrs trying to d/l files.

I have been trying for days now to upload or download files all to no avail. In the end I also deleted, by mistake, my .ssh file, took me a while to realise what I had done. I was also trying the sft command but that was saying permission denied (publickey), unsure what this meant, but is it saying that the public key on the remote and mine do not match ? Funny because I can login with ssh if that is so. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
ssh and how do you do things
I have ssh access on a remote site and can login as I sent my public key. Waht I do not know is what do I then do as far as commands are concerned to either upload or download files. I believe I use a command called SCP but there has to be switches I do not know about, as it in itself does not work. BTW way Do I in point of fact login with ssh first and then call scp (something) or what do I do ? I hav elooked for something online that tells me faq's and so called manulas but no luck. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
