Linux SFTP usage (implementation file upload download)

FTP are probably all used, SFTP used estimates are relatively few. Simply put, it is a secure before FTP, through the SSH channel between the local and remote server file transfer, more secure.

Connection

This is usually the case for SSH connections:

SSH sam@zfanw.com

then enter the password.

Sftp basically is to change ssh for SFTP:

SFTP sam@zfanw.com

If you have an SSH config file configured, it is simpler to connect to a remote server in the form of a private/public key:

SFTP Linode

When the connection is complete, the terminal displays:

SFTP >

Download files

The main function of FTP is file transfer, SFTP provides the download file command is get:

Get-r picture
This command downloads the picture directory to local.
Get Sam.png
This command downloads the sam.png picture to the local.
Where is the local??
We can use the LPWD command to view the local current working directory-that is, add an L to the PWD command to represent the locality. As you can see, we can also use the LCD to switch the local working directory.
Uploading files
The upload command provided by SFTP is put.
Put Sam.png
This command uploads the sam.png under the local current working directory to the working directory of the remote server.
Put-r picture
Upload the entire directory file.
