SSH File Transfer with PuTTY How to upload and download files through SSH using PuTTY (for Windows users)In this tutorial we'll show you how to transfer files from your local computer to your hosting account and vice versa through SSH (Secure Shell) using PuTTY. PuTTY is an application with which Windows users can connect to their hosting accounts through SSH and execute commands, transfer files, etc. To learn more about PuTTY, where to find it, how to configure it and what you have to do to connect to your account through SSH, read the tutorial on (for Windows users).In this tutorial we assume that you already have installed the whole PuTTY installation package on your local computer and you know how to configure it to connect to your account.As you have probably noticed the PuTTY installation package contains several other applications, besides PuTTY itself. These include Pageant, PSCP, PSFTP, etc. What you need for file transferring is either PSCP or PSFTP:SCP (Secure Copy) and SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) are network protocols which use SSH for file transfer.

When it comes to transferring speed, they are a bit slower than the more commonly used FTP but they are much more secure.PSCP and PSFTP are the PuTTY applications for transferring files over SCP and SFTP. SFTP is a newer protocol designed to work with SSH-2 (Secure Shell version 2).

Despite its name, PSCP also uses SFTP as its first option for transferring files when the server to which PSCP is connected is an SSH-2 server. Practically all servers, including HostKnox servers, are SSH-2 servers.The main difference between PSCP and PSFTP is that PSCP is primarily used for downloading and uploading files (it can also be used to list files in a remote directory). PSFTP is more like an FTP client (e.g.

FileZilla), meaning that it can be used not only to transfer files, but also to browse the files and folders on your account, to delete them, etc. PSFTP and PSCP are, however, command line applications. This means that they are used through the Command Prompt of your Windows operational system and you have to type the commands manually.So, to start PSCP or PSFTP you have to start the Command Prompt first. To do this, click on the Windows Start button in the lower left corner of your screen, then click on Run. And in the window that opens type cmd and click on OK.

This will launch the Command Prompt from which you can start PSCP or PSFTP.In order to connect to your account and transfer files you also have to start Pageant and add your private SSH key. For more information on this check the tutorial on.First we'll go over PSCP and we'll show you how to start it and use it to transfer files from your local computer to your hosting account and vice versa. To start it, you have to type a command in the Command Prompt to add PSCP to the system path. If, for example, you have installed all the PuTTY applications in a folder called putty on your local D drive, the command should look like this: set path=%path%;d:putty.

After you type it press Enter on your keyboard to execute the command.After you do that you're ready to type commands to transfer files with PSCP. To upload a file from your local computer to the publichtml directory on your account (the directory where you have to put the files you need for your site), you have to execute a command in the Command Prompt that looks like this:pscp d:documentsexample.txt username@e.hostknox.com:/home/username/publichtmlThis command will transfer a text file called example.txt from the documents folder on your local D drive to the publichtml directory on your account. You have to replace username in both places with your actual master username and, if needed, the server name. The part between the @ symbol and the colon is the address of the server and the part after the colon is the path to the publichtml folder ( /home/username/publichtml).To download a file from your account to your local computer just type first the path to the file on your hosting account and then the place on your local computer where you want to download it:pscp username@e.hostknox.com:/home/username/publichtml/example.txt d:documentsThe only spaces in the pscp command are after pscp and between the two paths. If you want to upload a file which has spaces in its file name (or the directory containing it has spaces), you have to put the whole path to the file on your local computer in quotation marks.
