In this video, I go over how to transfer files using ssh. You will be able to SFTP and SCP for this and I show how to do this in both Windows and Linux. I also wrote up a definitive guide on how to setup, secure, configure, use, and transfer files using SSH @ www.christitus.com/ssh-guide/

I wonder, does Windows 10 file explorer support sftp

@ChrisTitusTech 5 лет назад

Not Natively, however I always say anything can be accomplished on a computer. You could install an addon to add this functionality by installing a product called Swish (swish-sftp.org/). Enjoy!

@GrowMTBF 5 лет назад

Win 10 Pro has sftp command in the powershell. Needing a GUI is overkill, IMHO.

This is yet another video solving a current problem of mine or others i interact with. One of my instructors has the class connect SSH into a server. There we build a java program to solve discrete structure assignments. Insted of using nano to build programs from scratch, i would rather use an IME like DrJava or Sublime. Getting a file across SSH led me to SCP. I like your instructions here, and will probably pass this video among my piers.

@danw1955 5 лет назад

I use WinSCP and puTTY here on a regular basis for server maintenance from a Win7 box. Simple and effective! Of course Linux has all this built-in, like you mentioned, so easy to navigate, and generally much quicker to execute right from the file manager. Nice tutorial.👍

Many tnx for clear up those copy methodes , i use network shared directorys in Windows , once setup the permissions it just work as local internal drives , no logins, no commands just all with explorer. Love your tshirt!

@kevinklement2621 5 лет назад

Maybe mention rsync over ssh? I almost always use rsync rather than scp, to avoid recopying files that are already the same between the two machines. The syntax is basically the same otherwise if you use -av or -avP flags.

@DaveSomething 5 лет назад

rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -p2222" ~/. dave@what.host.he.uses:~/CrapFromWork/ works pretty good for me, after you do the "ssh-keygen" and then "ssh-copy-id dave@what.host.he.uses -p 2222" so you don't have to login with your password constantly. (-p 2222 is the port #, please tell me you're not using 22 on WAN)

@bertnijhof5413 5 лет назад

ZFS send/ssh/receive is the best. It only send the modified part of each file. Great especially if you backup huge files (10-50 GB) like those of virtual machines. If the files are compressed, their changes will be send compressed too.

You could make a few updates: Linux: rsync, sshfs Windows 10 1809+: openssh command line SSH, scp an sftp is included in the OS now... No need for Putty/WinSCP if not desired

In Windows, if you have a folder open, you can go to File | Open Windows Powershell, and it will open a powershell at that particular folder location, which saves you from having to cd to it.

@yvrelna 5 лет назад

The SFTP protocol has nothing to do with the FTP protocol. They're two completely different protocol that just happens to share very similar name. SFTP is not just an SSH-wrapped version of FTP. This is different from FTPS, which actually is a TLS-wrapped version of FTP.

@Phydoux2112 4 года назад

Never fails. Every time I hear someone talking about something in Windows, eventually I'm going to hear the word "sucks". But the Linux stuff is exactly what I needed. Now I havd 2 ways to transfer files. Thanks!

@caseykreicar 3 года назад

you can't copy a file from the user logging into the remote server using scp? I'm trying to copy a file from the computer using ssh to the remote computer. I just get connection refused. ssh works. the example is copying a file from the remote server but the opposite can't be done?

@philswift7151 2 года назад

@0cgw 5 лет назад

Another way to transfer files between computers (ones for which you have root access) is to nfs mount the home directory of each machine on the other (set it up using exportfs). You can also export other (e.g., USB) discs attached to each machine, so that you need not care what's attached to what. Then copying is seemless: cp files/* /mountpt/remotemachinespath For dropbox and googledrive (I know Chris isn't keen on these, but google has granted members of my university unlimited cloud storage --actually 1.0P storage according to mount) you can use rclone to mount your cloud services as directories in the same way. So copying to the googledrive is just cp file /Gdrive/somewhere/ Though you may need to go to a browser to control sharing options.

Tip: you can put the user name and ip in a ssh config file; that way you can ssh, scp, SFTP and sshfs into your remote via an alias Like ssh propc Or scp hello.txt propc:~

@stephenfienberg8765 5 лет назад

I like to mount network files to /mnt through fstab. Once mounted you can just use your file explorer to copy to your heart's content. Otherwise if I want to explore other network locations, ssh to explore and scp to copy back to my machine.

@KyzerSusie Год назад

Love this. I opened two file manager windows in Mint, input the sftp command into one of those windows, and was able to transfer files to my hearts content. However, once I finished and closed both windows, the sftp connection remained, and now shows the remote system under Network whenever I open a new file manager window. While that's very convenient, how do I turn off the sftp connection if I want to, using the file manager, or do I have to muck around in the terminal?

@TheMack 5 лет назад

Really cool! I didn't know it was possible to use SFTP in the Linux file manager, works fine in Thunar. I have connected SMB-shares from a Synology NAS, are there any difference in using SFTP instead of SMB, or is it just speed? Thanks!

@@kenklak Thanks for the reply, I already have it enabled and it works nicely to connect with both SSH in terminal and with SFTP in Thunar.

@greatwolf. Год назад

Doesn't Win10 and later have ssh and scp already included? Doing a `where ssh` and `where scp` from my cmd.exe terminal shows 'C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH' as the location for both. Assuming other Win10 installs are similar why not just use that instead of downloading winscp and putty etc? Btw found your video because I was looking for a way to transfer files to my tomato router over ssh.

Chris, which Telltale and WB games did you play? Do you really use a 4-character password for your server (maybe you don't care much because it is just for gaming and not privacy-sensitive) or did you briefly change it to 4 characters to not give away how many you use? :P

@ChrisTitusTech 5 лет назад

Yes it is 4 characters and could be hacked in about 2 shakes of a lambs tail. However, this particular one isn't exposed to the outside world and used mainly for testing, hence the short password.

Thank you, Chris. Good video. You are a good teacher. I've also found much utility in ssh and scp. I've also derived huge benefits from sshfs for mounting home file systems securely over the internet, with Mac (using FUSE), Windows (WinSSHFS) and Ubuntu. Perhaps sshfs would be an additional topic you could explore with your audience. Thanks again for the informative presentation. I've never tried sftp with a file manager before, and it seems a handy trick.

On my Mac sshfs just broke at some point. I used to use it to upload shell scripts and crontab to my DD-WRT router, but then it stopped working and I was never able to fix it. I'm guessing it's just a Mac thing, and is one of many reasons I'll never buy an Apple product. I only tried Mac in the first place because I had HiDPI problems with Linux, but I've come to think anything higher than 1080p on a laptop is dumb.
