Is there a way to publish a web site from Visual Studio 2008 using SCP or SFTP? I know it is possible to publish to my local filesystem and then perform the transfer with SCP, but I'd like something more seamless (e.g. part of Visual Studio). Does this feature exist? An addin perhaps?
The built in system for publishing pages is a little bit limited.
One thing that I find useful is with WinSCP, there is a featured called "Keep Remote Directory up to Date". What it will do is set a bunch of file system watchers for your local system and if you change something locally, it will auto upload it. Using that and publishing to a local directory makes things easy.
If you have Windows 10 and bash/linux subsystem installed and a Linux/BSD server you can:
Combine ssh and rsync
I prefer to use rsync through a ssh pipe, since it won't upload files that werer not modified, it's more efficient.
from visual studio, publish in a folder, say I:/www/WebProject
use this command that updates changes only, and delete files that were deleted/absent from publish folder thanks to --delete
bash -c "rsync -avH --delete --progress /mnt/i/www/WebProject -e ssh server:/var/www/"
Where I:/www/WebProject is the local folder where the project was published, and /var/www the remote directory of the web application.
Preparation (to do once)
You need to work a bit to allow ssh to work without password but with keys.
let's say your bash username is also the same on the server; if not, just use username#server
name your server:
add xx.xx.xx.xx server to the file c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts)
add your server to hosts from bash with sudo echo "xx.xx.xx.xx server" >> /etc/hosts
from bash, generate your keys:
ssh --keygen
then [enter] (no passphrase)
send your public key to the server, in your home folder:
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub servername:~/
from your server (ssh server then password):
cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys && rm id_rsa.pub
Now you can ssh and scp without password. IMO this is way better than filezilla or just scp.

I need to transfer around 4.2 GB of files from my local computer to a server B. However to ssh into server B, I need to ssh into server A.
Currently I'm copying files from my local computer to server A and then from server A to server B.
So the flow goes like this:
rsync -avz --del ~/Desktop/abc/ <my-user-name>#<server-A>:~/abc
rsync -avz --del ~/Desktop/abc/ <my-user-name>#<server-B>:~/abc
This is slow and copies 4.2 gb of data two times instead of one!
Can I transfer files with rsync from my local computer to directly server B ?
You can always use ssh with proxy command, which allows you to transfer files transparently. Using this config (~/.ssh/config):
Host <server-A>
User <user-A>
Host <server-B>
User <user-B>
ProxyCommand ssh <server-A> -W %h:%p
You can call your rsync:
rsync -avz --del ~/Desktop/abc/ <server-B>:~/abc
The data will be only "routed" over the middle host.
What you want is to use port-forwarding to forward the ssh/rsync port (generally port 22) from server B to alternate ports on server A so when you call rsync -e "ssh -p altport" serverA:/sourcedir /destdir, you are actually invoking rsync from serverB.
There are many good howtos available on StackExchange and other sites. For example:
How to forward a port from one machine to
another?
or
How To Forward Ports through a Linux Gateway with
Iptables
will get you started. Using port-forwarding, you are essentially using serverA as a pass-through host so you will only have to transfer your 4.2G once.
Yes, you can copy the files (and even folders) directly without making any intermediate copies on the contact/login server, which is by default the machine known to the outside world, or contacted to get access to a specific local network.
Below is a simple demonstration using scp without any unnecessary complications. On the local machine, simply do the following:
$ scp -r -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p your_username#contact-server.de" your_username#machine_name:/file/path/on/this/machine ~/destination/path/to/save/the/copied/folder
-r option instructs scp to copy the contents of the entire folder.
your_username need not be the same on both machines.
If it is successful, you'll be asked for your passwords on both machines for authentication.
In the above command it is assumed that the typical way to access the machine named as "machine_name" would be via the contact server.
Note:
The above command also works for transferring data from a source remote machine (e.g. s) to a target remote machine (say t). In such a scenario, first ssh to the source remote machine (s) and navigate to the path where the data resides. After that you can simply think of/treat that remote machine as a local/source machine and then simply use the same scp command listed above for copying folders.
For copying individual files, just remove the -r option and provide the path to the specific file that you want to copy.
I've had a look on google and here on stack but can't find a good example on how to do this.
All I basically want to do is SSH into a server copy all the site files and paste them into a folder on my computer?
I normally use git but this is an old site which has not been setup with git so I just wanted to know a quick way to copy from the server as FTP sucks!
A simple process with commands for terminal would be great!
Check out rsync. It has the capability to operate over ssh. You might also want to look into ssh aliases (which it also honors) when copying files over, and it's what git uses to only sync the differences between two repositories.
The advantage of rsync over SCP or SFTP is that it can resume download if interrupted, takes little bandwidth to sync since it sends change sets instead of entire files (unless the file doesn't yet exist on one side), and can do one- or two-way sync depending on your preference.
ssh USER#SERVER "tar zcvf - /DUMP_DIR" | cat > /OUT_DIR/FILE_NAME_OF_ARCH
or
(rsync -avz --delete /DUMP_DIR USER#SERVER:/OUT_DIR &)
Look at SCP.
scp username#remotehost.com:/directoryname/* /some/local/directory
Use scp
scp -P 2222 json-serde-1.1.8-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar root#127.0.0.1:
For Example.
Hope that helps!
How do I copy a folder from remote to local host using scp?
I use ssh to log in to my server.
Then, I would like to copy the remote folder foo to local /home/user/Desktop.
How do I achieve this?
scp -r user#your.server.example.com:/path/to/foo /home/user/Desktop/
By not including the trailing '/' at the end of foo, you will copy the directory itself (including contents), rather than only the contents of the directory.
From man scp (See online manual)
-r Recursively copy entire directories
To use full power of scp you need to go through next steps:
Public key authorisation
Create SSH aliases
Then, for example if you have this ~/.ssh/config:
Host test
User testuser
HostName test-site.example
Port 22022
Host prod
User produser
HostName production-site.example
Port 22022
you'll save yourself from password entry and simplify scp syntax like this:
scp -r prod:/path/foo /home/user/Desktop # copy to local
scp -r prod:/path/foo test:/tmp # copy from remote prod to remote test
More over, you will be able to use remote path-completion:
scp test:/var/log/ # press tab twice
Display all 151 possibilities? (y or n)
For enabling remote bash-completion you need to have bash-shell on both <source> and <target> hosts, and properly working bash-completion. For more information see related questions:
How to enable autocompletion for remote paths when using scp?
SCP filename tab completion
To copy all from Local Location to Remote Location (Upload)
scp -r /path/from/local username#hostname:/path/to/remote
To copy all from Remote Location to Local Location (Download)
scp -r username#hostname:/path/from/remote /path/to/local
Custom Port where xxxx is custom port number
scp -r -P xxxx username#hostname:/path/from/remote /path/to/local
Copy on current directory from Remote to Local
scp -r username#hostname:/path/from/remote .
Help:
-r Recursively copy all directories and files
Always use full location from /, Get full location/path by pwd
scp will replace all existing files
hostname will be hostname or IP address
if custom port is needed (besides port 22) use -P PortNumber
. (dot) - it means current working directory, So download/copy from server and paste here only.
Note: Sometimes the custom port will not work due to the port not being allowed in the firewall, so make sure that custom port is allowed in the firewall for incoming and outgoing connection
What I always use is:
scp -r username#IP:/path/to/server/source/folder/ .
. (dot): it means current folder. so copy from server and paste here only.
IP: can be an IP address like 125.55.41.311 or it can be host like ns1.mysite.example.
Better to first compress catalog on remote server:
tar czfP backup.tar.gz /path/to/catalog
Secondly, download from remote:
scp user#your.server.example.com:/path/to/backup.tar.gz .
At the end, extract the files:
tar -xzvf backup.tar.gz
Typical scenario,
scp -r -P port username#ip:/path-to-folder .
explained with an sample,
scp -r -P 27000 abc#10.70.12.12:/tmp/hotel_dump .
where,
port = 27000
username = "abc" , remote server username
path-to-folder = tmp/hotel_dump
. = current local directory
And if you have one hell of a files to download from the remote location and if you don't much care about security, try changing the scp default encryption (Triple-DES) to something like 'blowfish'.
This will reduce file copying time drastically.
scp -c blowfish -r user#your.server.example.com:/path/to/foo /home/user/Desktop/
Go to Files on your unity toolbar
Press Ctrl + l and write here_goes_your_user_name#192.168.10.123
The 192.168.1.103 is the host that you want to connect.
The here one example
In case you run into "Too many authentication failures", specify the exact SSH key you have added to your severs ssh server:
scp -r -i /path/to/local/key user#remote.tld:/path/to/folder /your/local/target/dir
The question was how to copy a folder from remote to local with scp command.
$ scp -r userRemote#remoteIp:/path/remoteDir /path/localDir
But here is the better way for do it with sftp - SSH File Transfer Protocol (also Secure File Transfer Protocol, or SFTP) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream.(wikipedia).
$ sftp user_remote#remote_ip
sftp> cd /path/to/remoteDir
sftp> get -r remoteDir
Fetching /path/to/remoteDir to localDir 100% 398 0.4KB/s 00:00
For help about sftp command just type help or ?.
I don't know why but I was had to use local folder before source server directive . to make it work
scp -r . root#888.888.888.888:/usr/share/nginx/www/example.org/
For Windows OS, we used this command.
pscp -r -P 22 hostname#IP:/path/to/Downloads ./
The premise of the question is incorrect. The idea is, once logged into ssh, how to move files from the logged-in machine back to the client that is logged in. However, scp is not aware of nor can it use the ssh connection. It is making its own connections. So the simple solution is create a new terminal window on the local workstation, and run scp that transfers files from the remote server to local machine. E.g., scp -i key user#remote:/remote-dir/remote-file /local-dir/local-file
I use SSH to connect to my Ubuntu instance. With SSH I can administer files and folders on the instance, but how do I upload files and folders from my local machine to the instance?
Is it possible to do right from SSH session, without using SFTP clients?
Just to add a bit more detail to the scp command (included in OSx and most linux/unix):
scp -i myssh.pem local_file username#200.200.200.200:/home/username
Obviously - replace the pem file with the one used for ssh access. Obviously replace "username" and "200.200.200.." with valid values for your setup.
You can try kitten utility which is a wrapper around boto3. You can easily upload/download files and run commands on EC2 server or on multiple servers at once for that matter.
kitten put -i ~/.ssh/key.pem cat.jpg /tmp [SERVER NAME][SERVER IP]
Where server name is e.g ubuntu or ec2-user etc.
This will upload cat.jpg file to /tmp directory of server
As mentioned already, I've used WinSCP, which logs me in as "ec2-user" - then make sure to adjust that user's permissions via SSH. Example:
chown -R ec2-user /path/to/files
(Authenticate as the root user first.)
Whatever folder or files you need to edit via WinSCP, allow permissions on them (otherwise you will get a permission denied error when trying to upload/edit files in WinSCP).
you cannot copy files using ssh. you can use scp/sftp.
scp if you are on linux or winscp if you are on windows
You can use this:
scp -i yourkeypair.pem source destination
This Works Fine
scp -r -i myssh.pem /local/directory remote_username#10.10.0.2:/remote/directory
-r for recursive
You could also install and set up an FTP Server, which will allow you to set up users, and directories for them to upload to. That being said, I've upvoted the above because scp/sftp is the ideal method.
The easiest way is to install webmin and user the file manager (java plugin) from your browser.
//Go to home folder
cd ~
//Download the latest version
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.660-1.noarch.rpm
//install
sudo rpm -U webmin-1.660-1.noarch.rpm
//Change default password of root user
passwd
Finally, open port 10000 in the security groups
Then, log into
https://server_name:10000
with user:root password:what_you_set_before
I have a folder in my Desktop. I want to copy it to my server in Terminal.
I tried this unsuccessfully
[~/bin]# cp -r /Users/Sam/Desktop/tig-0.14.1 ~/bin/
cp: cannot stat `/Users/Sam/Desktop/tig-0.14.1': No such file or directory
[edit]
I run the command in my server. The problem seems to be in the fact that "/Users/Sam/Desktop/tig-0.14.1" is a folder in my Mac, not in my server.
Perhaps, I cannot move the folder so simply to my server because my server do not know where my folder locates.
I have always moved the folder by GUI. Is the same possible also just in terminal?
From the server:
scp -r username#A.B.C.D:~/Desktop/tig-0.14.1/ ~/bin/
username is your shortname on your local mac.
A.B.C.D is the IP address of your local mac as seen by the server.
You will be prompted for your password.
Or if you wanted to push from your local client:
scp -r ~/Desktop/tig-0.14.1/ serveruser#W.X.Y.Z:~/bin/
serveruser is the user on the server whose ~/bin you want to copy into.
W.X.Y.Z is the IP address of the server as seen by your client.
You will be prompted to enter serveruser's password.
scp is part of ssh. See 'man scp' (from the terminal) for more info.
From your Mac (not the server):
# scp -r ~/Desktop/tig-0.14.1 myUsername#myServerName:~/bin
replace myUsername and myServerName appropriately.
cp is not the correct command. Try scp instead; it has similar use and you can use it like this: (see the manual for reference)
from linux client:
scp user1#host1://Users/Sam/Desktop/tig-0.14.1 ~/bin/
if you use a windows client you can use winscp to do this in "drag&drop" style
cp: cannot stat/Users/Sam/Desktop/tig-0.14.1': No such file or directory`
That's the problem, alright: the file you're trying to copy is not where you thought, or not named what you typed. As suggested in comments you can try using tab completion at the prompt to make sure you have everything correct:
# cp /Users/Sam/Desk<TAB>
# cp /Users/Sam/Desktop/tig<TAB>
# cp /Users/Sam/Desktop/tig-0.14.1.tar.gz
Note that tig-0.14.1.tar.gz is probably the actual file name, as found in the wild...
