To use an SSH connection to transfer files, follow these steps:
1. Open your terminal or command prompt window.
1. Connect to the remote server using SSH command. For example:
ssh username@remotehost.com1. Navigate to the directory on the remote server where you want to transfer the files to.
1. Use the SCP (Secure Copy) command to transfer files securely. For example, to transfer a file called ‘myfile.txt’ from your local computer to the remote server, enter:
scp /path/to/myfile.txt username@remotehost.com:/remote/directory/1. If you want to transfer an entire directory, use the -r flag to copy recursively:
scp -r /path/to/mydirectory username@remotehost.com:/remote/directory/1. Type in your password (if prompted), and the transfer will begin.
1. Once the transfer is complete, you can disconnect from the SSH connection using:
exitNote: On Windows, you can use applications like PuTTY or WinSCP to connect to the remote server and transfer files using SSH.
