| I searched the forums and didn't find anything. How do I scp from a server? I got this from putty, but it's gibberish to me.
usage: scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2
So I was wondering if someone knew how to use it and could give me a dummies guide to using it.
Thanks | Top |

| In a nutshell:
scp <from> <to>
where from and to can be either local or remote files.
For instance:
scp act_comm.c dave@mymud.com:/path/to/mud/src
would copy your local file act_comm.c to the user dave on mymud.com 's account in the /path/to/mud/src directory.
or, to transfer the other way:
scp dave@mymud.com:/path/to/mud/src/act_comm.c .
(where . denotes the local directory)
Hope this helps,
Dave | Top |

| Ok, I've tried C:\ and C: and C:/ and it doesn't seem to work. It gives me this:
ssh: C: Name or service not known
lost connection
Is there something else I have to do? | Top |

| Ok, I've figured out how to download it to local directory, but I can't find the file on my comp. Did a search for it and couldn't find it. I'm doing this.
scp name@website.com:file .file
name@website.com's password:
File 100% 151KB 150.9KB/s 00:00
Ok, so now what? heh.
Thanks a bunch

| scp name@website.com:file .file
That will store the file into file ".file" in the working directory - probably not what you wanted to do!
The '.' in the original command meant 'current directory', much like how '..' means 'previous directory'. |

| If you're trying to get a file from the shell/server onto your local computer, I believe you cannot do that without FTP or the like. |

| Well you could use SFTP, it's more secure, but then again I haven't looked much info on that. I just use it, and that's it. |

| SFTP is as secure as SSH, which means that it's really quite secure.
BTW, SCP is just another kind of file transfer client using SSH. I don't know why you say it wouldn't work. In fact, I just used it, using Cygwin on my local computer...
$ scp darkstone@darkstone.betterbox.net:mud/src/mud.h mud.h
The authenticity of host 'darkstone.betterbox.net (68.90.69.77)' can't be established.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Worked just fine: it put mud.h into the directory I was working in. |
