It's based on the SSH protocol used with it. A client can use an SCP to upload files to a remote server safely, download files, or even transfer files via SSH across remote servers.
Often you will need to move one or more files/folders or copy them to a different location. You can do so using an SSH connection. The commands which you would need to use are mv (short from move) and cp (short from copy). By executing the above command you will move (rename) the file original_file to new_name.
Copy and paste the required file from the remote machine in the cloud storage disk. Now, the file will appear in the file transfer window as shown below. Click the download icon against the file. Now the file will be downloaded to your local machine.
It depends on what your local OS is.
If your local OS is Unix-like, then try:
scp username@remoteHost:/remote/dir/file.txt /local/dir/
If your local OS is Windows ,then you should use pscp.exe utility.
For example, below command will download file.txt from remote to D: disk of local machine.
pscp.exe username@remoteHost:/remote/dir/file.txt d:\
It seems your Local OS is Unix, so try the former one.
For those who don't know what pscp.exe is and don't know where it is, you can always go to putty official website to download it. And then open a CMD prompt, go to the pscp.exe directory where you put it. Then execute the command as provided above
Your question is a bit confusing, but I am assuming - you are first doing 'ssh' to find out which files or rather specifically directories are there and then again on your local computer, you are trying to scp 'all' files in that directory to local path. you should simply do scp -r.
So here in your case it'd be something like
local> scp -r [email protected]:/path/to/dir local/path
If youare using some other executable that provides 'scp like functionality', refer to it's manual for recursively copying files.
You need to name the file in both directory paths.
scp [email protected]:/dir/of/file.txt \local\dir\file.txt
Make sure the scp command is available on both sides - both on the client and on the server.
BOTH Server and Client, otherwise you will encounter this kind of (weird)error message on your client: scp: command not found or something similar even though though you have it all configured locally.
that scp command must be issued on the local command-line, for putty the command is pscp.
C:\something> pscp [email protected]:/dir/of/file.txt \local\dir\
