I use this command to copy file from Window to Linux with user "fred", it is successful
pscp c:\temp\example-hosts.txt fred#10.53.x.x:/etc/hosts
But if my user name is domain user, such as: domain\fred. I got the error: More than remote source not supported
pscp c:\temp\example-hosts.txt domain\fred#10.53.x.x:/etc/hosts
Do you know how to fix this?
Add the -l flag for user
pscp -l domain\fred c:\temp\example-hosts.txt 10.53.x.x:/etc/hosts

I have 2 solaris servers. I want to write a shell script which will copy a file from one server to the other.
scp /tmp/test/a.war tomcat#202.203.204.44:/tmp/
The above command when executed in PUTTY will ask me to enter a password for the destination. This is fine when using PUTTY.
How can iI enter the password while running the scp command through shell script?
Thanks in advance
You have to setup SSH private/public key.
Once generated place the public key line entry on the target server's and user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
Make sure the file on the source machine (for the user which will run the scp/ssh command) will have file permission (400) recommended.

I am using ftp in the command line (terminal) to transfer multiple data files from a remote server to my local computer. There are multiple files (~40) in the directory and I would like to transfer them all without having to answer yes in the prompt for each file. I tried mget * but this only transferred the first file and then a prompt popped up for the second file.
Issue a prompt command first to turn interactive prompting off.
Alternatively, if you have control over the way the ftp command is called, use the command line option, as suggested by #reg-edit:
ftp [-i | --no-prompt] [OPTIONS] [HOST [PORT]]
As an alternative to issuing a prompt command ahead of your other commands, you may invoke ftp with the -i switch.
When you already started ftp you can issue the prompt command to toggle between getting prompted and not getting prompted. So this should do the trick:
> ftp <some server>
ftp> prompt
Interactive mode OFF .
ftp> mget *
I am using plink to execute the shell script on the remote MachineB. And shell script is there on the MachineA(Windows Box).
C:\PLINK>plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Your Kerberos password will expire in 73 days.
And that shell script generates the output in a text file(aa.txt) on MachineB and that gets stored in /export/home/uname/aa.txt
So my question is- Is there any way that I can copy the aa.txt file from MachineB to MachineA as soon the script has completed all its task using the ssh. Or we need to put all these things in Windows Batch file?
So Problem Statement is like this-
Execute the shell script on MachineB from MachineA.
Then wait for the shell script to complete its task, in my case it will write the output to a text file.
And after the shell script has completed all its task means it finished writing everything to a txt file, then copy that txt file to MachineA from MachineB
Any suggestions will be appreciated on how I can achieve the above scenario?
Update:-
So Suppose if this is the content in test.sh shell script file and also after adding pscp at the end of script, then it should be like this?
#!/bin/bash
export HIVE_OPTS="$HIVE_OPTS -hiveconf mapred.job.queue.name=hdmi-technology"
hive -S -e 'SELECT count(*) from testingtable2' > aa.txt
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
So I am executing a hive query in the above script and whose output is getting stored in aa.txt file and as soon as the query is completed and output is stored in aa.txt file, it will go to fourth line of pscp which will transfer aa.txt file to my local windows machine inside documents folder. Am I right? This will be the whole process?
And if the above process is right as far as I understood, then I can simply go to windows cmd prompt, and do like below and it will do the exact same process. Right?
C:\PLINK>plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Your Kerberos password will expire in 73 days.
Updated Again:-
So I need to create a bat file, and suppose this is the below test.bat file, so content should be like this in that test.bat file-
plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
You can use scp to download the file after execution. If you setup winsshd on your windows machine and append a copy command in the test.sh file:
scp /export/home/uname/aa.txt user#windowsmachine.com:/homedir
The file will be transferred after completion.
Similarly, you can use a windows scp client like pscp on your windows machine, you can pull the file from the linux machine:
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
So on windows machine, have a batch script:
plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
Just to add on to what has already been said, I am running something very similar and use the following format (from a batch script):
plink -ssh user# -pw password -m yourScript.sh
pscp -sftp -pw password user#IP-Address:/path/to/remote/file C:\path\to\local\save\directory
That second command is on one line, but it might not render like that on here. Of course, replace IP-Address, user, and password with the appropriate values for your login :-)
Hope that helps!
EDIT - Sorry, just realized this EXACT answer was already given. Kudos!
Problem Statement- I want to copy some files from remote machine (linux) to my windows machine. I know I can do it using pscp.
I tried looking on the internet, I found several articles, but in those articles I was not able to understand and I was having lot of problems in copying the files from Linx box to Windows.
Can anyone provide me step by step method here, so that I can follow that to transfer files. That will be of great help to me.
I am connected to host cli.vip.host.com using putty and that is linux with username- rkost and password as- password. And I want to copy file a.txt from linux to windows.
Download PSCP from below link
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
Run PSCP
Got to command prompt
Use the below code
Copy single file
pscp user#host:remote_path/file_name host_path\file_name
eg: pscp user1#192.168.1.10:/home/user2/a.txt c:\Desktop\a.txt
Copy all files in a folder
pscp user#host:remote_path/* host_path\
eg: pscp user1#192.168.1.10:/home/user2/* c:\Desktop\test\
Copy all files & folders in a folder
pscp -r user#host:remote_path/ host_path\
eg: pscp -r user1#192.168.1.10:/home/user2/ c:\Desktop\test\
For this kind of problem I use all the time netcat. First, you start netcat as server on a machine with an ip IP_address, and afterwards you send the file from the other machine.
nc -l -p <port-number> > out_file
will start it as server in "listen" state, and will save what you send to it in the file "out_file".(check the man page of your version for more parameters.)
From the other machine you send the file something like this:
< file_to_send nc IP_address
(If you want to send an whole directory, you use tar )
I never used it under Windows (because I work as linux engineer). But you can find nc for windows, that work the same as in linux...
if you want to use pscp, you can do this:
pscp -pw password rkost#cli.vip.host.com:/path/to/file c:\path\
if this doesn't work try to add enviroment variable:
set PATH=C:\path\to\putty\directory;%PATH%
After installing POWERSHELL
wow64_microsoft-windows-powershell-exe
you can open the terminal and execute this command line
pscp -r -P Port user#IP:path WINDOWS path
example:
pscp -r -P 2222 user#MyDommain.com:/var/www/html C:\2023\HTML
Make sure you are connected to your vpn server, (i.e. cli.vip.host.com)
use following command from your windows machine
pscp -v rkost#remote_ip_addr:/path/to/file/a.txt c:/some_location/
you can see the verbose with -v flag.
If you wants to copy directory from remote linux machine to your windows
just refer my answer in this
PSCP copy files from godaddy to my windows machine
How to write a bash script using sftp command to download files?
I can use the following command to login to the remote machine, however I need to type in the password manually.
bash-3.2$ sftp -o "Port 22022" mike#s-edm-ssh.local.files.stack.com
mike#s-edm-ssh.local.files.stack.com's password:
Connected to s-edm-ssh.local.files.stack.com.
sftp>
How to do the sftp without the password prompt?
If I like to download aaa.txt file at /remote/mike/files to my local directory /local/mike/downloaded, how to build a script to do all of these work?
Since sftp runs over SSH, you can place your public key on the remote server.
If for some reason you can't place your key on the server, then you can write an Expect script to send your password when the prompt appears. See this example.
