I'm logged into a remote host using PuTTY.
What is the command to transfer files from my local machine to the machine I'm logged into on PuTTY?
PuTTY pscp (or scp) provides a file transfer application for Secure Shell (SSH) to copy files either between two directories on the configuration node or between the configuration node and another host.
Copying files via SSH uses the SCP (Secure Copy) protocol. SCP is a method of securely transferring files and entire folders between computers and it is based on the SSH protocol that it's used with. Using SCP a client can send (upload) files securely to a remote server or request (download) files.
This is probably not a direct answer to what you're asking, but when I need to transfer files over a SSH session I use WinSCP, which is an excellent file transfer program over SCP or SFTP. Of course this assumes you're on Windows.
