SSH query

[danieldrave]

Hi all,

 

I use ssh quite a lot at the command line/terminal (MAC OSX) to connect to my university server. The question is: what is the syntax for transferring directories from my home folders to the university server?

 

Thanks,

Dan xx

I use scp (secure copy). Only for single files (for full directories/projects I use subversion), but I would expect that scp can also copy full directories if you add a "-r" switch or something like that.

You may also be able to use your SSH credentials in a program like CyberDuck or Transmit to connect to the server with SFTP or SCP, then transfer files in the GUI.

If you must use ssh, then scp is the way to go...

 

But if you want to transfer files from your mac to the server, you can simply use:

Use "SSH Secure Shell", it comes with gui for transfer file.
