How to download file(s) from remote server directory to local machine in PuTTY ?
I got the command for inserting file to remote directory from local machine. But it is not working for me though there is no error message.
pscp c:\documents\foo.txt fred#example.com:/tmp/foo
(Question is probably more suited to Superuser)
You have your parameters in the wrong order. Please refer to the documentation:
https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.70/htmldoc/Chapter5.html#pscp
To download, you need:
pscp [options] [user#]host:source target
What you have there is the opposite, it's for doing an upload.

I have a problem regarding transferring files from a server to another server. I tried using PSCP putty. it worked in the first time from local to server. what I'm trying to do is zip all files then transfer to another server. what commands should I use to achieve this?
pscp -P 22 test.zip root#domain.com:/root
this line of code works when transferring local to remote server, however, I want to compress files from a server to another remote server, or at least remote to local, then local to remote, whatever method is possible. I cannot compress the files because it's almost 50 GB in total so I am searching for a much faster way to achieve this.
I have a specific problem.
I have a server(say x) , first I have to connect to the x server using ssh x#domain. Then there is an internal server y again I have to connect to that specific domain using ssh. I have to download a folder in server y. I tried using scp after logging into x, using
scp -r /data/home/path /Users/username/Desktop
I got the following error
cp: cannot create regular file `/Users/username/Desktop': No such file or directory
please help me in downloading the folder
That error is because the destination /Users/username/Desktop doesn't exist on server X.
However, there's more going on here. That command is just trying to copy the first folder locally because there is no host information.
You should run from X:
scp -r usery#servery:/data/home/path destination
And then repeat the process from your machine using serverx information.
I am working on Big data and want to fetch data/files from a file system present in remote machine not from any databases i.e to copy files from remote linux / windows machine to hdfs. Please help me.
You can copy file from your local file to a remote file system and vice versa by using
scp commands
scp [Options] [[User#]From_Host:]Source_File [[User#]To_Host:][Destination_File]
Try to install Hue. It's a very useful tool for this.
Follow this link for more details : http://gethue.com/
Enter into the File Browser in Hue, and click on "Add files" button then you can upload your files into HDFS
This may be asking too much from an already very powerful tool, but is there a chance that lftp mirror can execute a command during the mirroring process (from remote directory to the local machine)?
Specific example: lftp is asked to mirror a remote directory with xml files into a local folder and as soon as each file is downloaded/updated, it converts the file to JSON format using xml2json.
I can think of a solution that relies on monitoring the local copy of the mirrored folder for changes via find and then executing xml2json on the new/updated files, but perhaps there is a simpler way?
You can use xfer:verify and xfer:verify-command settings to run a local command on every transferred file.
i'm trying to set up a git server on Windows, but i'm having some issues getting it all to work.
I have locally created a normal repository, and remotely i created a bare repository. On the local repository i added a single text file and committed it, but when I try to push it into the remote repository I always get the following message:
fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: fata
I searched SO and other sources, and most of them suggest it's an issue regarding command echos. I'm using freeSSHd as a SSH solution (remote repository is hosted on a windows server), and I tried to use both the git bash and the windows CMD as a command shell.
I start CMD with /Q to disable echoing and /K to change directory to a directory where repositories are located, so I don't think that would be a problem.
Using the remote desktop, i can clone the repository to a folder next to it, and using the git bash locally i can access the SSH shell and also clone the repository in the same way. But using git clone ssh://<address>:/myRepo.git I always get the above message (The SSH's working folder is the same where the repository is located). Does anyone have any idea what's going on? How can I see what command is triggering the error, and how can I see the full error message?
I also met the same error using freeSSHd as a ssh solution for git server on Windows. I couldn't find a solution for a whole day and gave up. :(
Later I found another powerful ssh server from Bitvise called WinSSHD worked well. It has free version for personal use. I suggest you to switch to it. Though I'd also like to know if there's a fix to the error we both met.
To setup ssh server with WinSSHD is quite simple, and you can add virtual accounts with private/public key access.
The key part is to setup the ssh access for git server. Please follow the steps of the blog here.
It should work well for Windows git client. For Mac, you may meet an error as follows.
grp.sh: No such file or directory
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
To fix it, you need to create the two files gup.sh and grp.sh in your git bin directory (GIT_PATH/bin or GIT_PATH/libexec/git-core configured in system environment variable PATH) in your git server.
The content of gup.sh:
git-upload-pack.exe $*
The content of grp.sh:
git-receive-pack.exe $*
