How do I copy files to or from my account?
SFTP
You can start sftp in much the same way you start ssh, e.g. 'sftp username@remotehost'. Once you are connected, the environment functions like traditional ftp:
$ sftp eml_user@iia.berkeley.edu sftp> cd /tmp sftp> put Book1.gnumeric Uploading Book1.gnumeric to /tmp/Book1.gnumeric sftp> get asdf Fetching /tmp/asdf to asdf sftp> quit
SCP
SCP is useful for non-interactive file copying. The following will copy file
into the user's home direcory on the remote side:
$ scp file eml_user@iia.berkeley.edu: eml_user@iia.berkeley.edu's password: file 100% |*****************************| 595 00:00
The following will copy the remote directory dir/
to the local directory dir2/
via the '-r' (recursive) command-line switch:
$ scp -r eml_user@iia.berkeley.edu:dir dir2/ eml_user@iia.berkeley.edu's password: $ ls dir2/ dir
