UPLOAD A FILE

use a key to upload a file to a specific directory and name on a remote machine

scp -i ~/.sshkeys/aws.pem WriteExample.war ubuntu@compute.amazonaws.com:/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/WriteExample.war

(if you have the .ppk you can use puttygen to Load the .ppk and Conversions -> Export OpenSSH -> save as key.pem)

specific port

scp -P 2233 -p filename user@host:/path/filename

copy multiple files from one place to another

scp user@host1.com:/path/* user@host2:/path/

get files

scp -r localname.txt user@remoteservername.com:/some/remote/directory/filename.txt

get recursively files from remote server and put them in localservertemp

scp -r remoteservername.com:/home/testuser/* /localservertemp

if you have sshd running then you can scp (hopefully even sftp) (openssl ssh comes by default as an ubuntu apt-get package from the repository, configured by /etc/ssh/sshd_config)

sftp user@host -oPort=7777

ls,cd,pwd,mkdir,rmdir,put,get,ren,chmod AND lls,lcd,lpwd , quit //also you can't use the "tab" auto complete =(

NON INTERACTIVE FTP OVER SSH (the -o SSH option is on by default?)

then you can use a special sftp client (e.g. otherwise filezilla in SFTP mode)

Host: ip address
Port: this is the SSH server port ServerType: SFTP Logon: Ask for Password user: ssh_username

or putty portable contains psftp (command line tool)

PSFTP allows an interactive file transfer session, like a GUI ftp program.

(list directories, browse around, issue multiple get and put commands, etc.)

PSCP is designed to do a single file transfer (securely) and immediately terminate.

if you download putty.zip , http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

cmd.exe

pscp.exe -p -v -P 22 putty.zip user@host-or-ip.com:/home/user

so we're preserving stuff, verbose, Port 22 uploading file putty.zip to the host/directory

pscp.exe -p -v -P 22 -scp putty.zip user@host-or-ip.com:/home/user

force scp mode (not sftp as scp is more universally ssh compatible)

psftp host -P port# -l username -v

you'll be prompted for your password and afterwards away you go with commandline ftp!
