For example, the command used for this example is:. Open up a command line in Windows. Windows 10 already has SCP installed by default.
The color contrasts with the yellow, and syntax highlighting is a nice change from the drab command line. As you can see, you first need to confirm the connection using the RSA fingerprint of the remote server. Replace [UserName] with your own Windows username. Each RSA fingerprint is added on a new line. This allows you to clear them easily by deleting an entire line at once if you ever need to remove an entry.
Navigate to the location you specified in your SCP command and the file should be visible. SCP is the most direct way to transfer files from remote servers to local systems. JanC: That requires more setup: you have to install an rsh or ftp server, and make sure its configuration is secure. The overhead of encryption is minimal even on a netbook. An ssh-server isn't installed by default either. JanC: Another advantage of ssh is that if you've enabled agent forwarding, you won't have to type a password to do the copy.
Workflow efficiency over computing microefficiency. You can do something like that with some other services too of course. In any case, there are multiple similar solutions that all involve setting up a tunneled connection back and an extra daemon Show 4 more comments. Interesting, could you explain how this works?
Are you able to extend this to support "putting" files as well as grabbing them? Eric Carvalho This would benefit by greater detail, including how to connect to an SSH server with FileZilla it's not obvious. Screenshots may also help, in addition to explanatory text. If your file is small enough you can encode it with base64 and then decode it locally: remote. Community Bot 1. What has that to do with anything? You don't need to encode files to txfr them with scp etc. I'm aware of scp but it's a very disjointed workflow.
If I'm working in a given remote directory, I need to get the remote path, disconnect or spawn another shell , do the scping writing out the paths and then reconnect. I'm looking for something that is akin to writing get file and it magically appears back on my local machine. If it has to do that via some service tunnelled over SSH, so be it..
But it should be session-bound. Plus it was superseded by sftp see my answer — Olivier Lalonde. There's only so much magic to go around; sometimes we still have to push the buttons.
The FileZilla solution is also handy. JanC JanC All you need is: apt-get install mc from universe After that, run mc, open the menu for left or right panel, choose shell connection, enter username remote-ip, the password - actually, that's it.. Nex0 Nex0 11 1 1 bronze badge. Since you are connecting from a desktop, I guess you can open a second terminal.
This is how I often do: from the first terminal, the one where the ssh session is running, I get the full path of the file I need to get, using either realpath myfile or readlink -f myfile older Ubuntu releases doesn't preinstall realpath and copy it. Doesn't help with the "trying to get a root file and logging in by root directly is disallowed" problem posed in the question.
Victor Victor 1. I do not get it — Pierre. I don't think you understand my use-case. I'm in an active SSH command line session and want to send a file back to my local computer from a [potentially privileged, ie not available over SFTP] location. It might not even be a file at its genesis, it might be command output. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name. Email Required, but never shown. When prompted for a password, enter sudo password. Once the installation is complete, enter the below command to download a file. In the Terminal app on your Mac, use the cp command to make a copy of a file.
The -R flag causes cp to copy the folder and its contents. Note that the folder name does not end with a slash, which would change how cp copies the folder. How to download a file from server using SSH in Linux? By — Linux tutorial — team Replacing the username, host, remote filename, and local directory as appropriate. If you want to access EC2 , use the -i option: click below button to copy the code.
Secure file transfer within SSH is accomplished by two primary commands: scp and sftp, secure versions of the copy and file transfer commands.
