This is the chapter of the MemberManual that describes how to transfer files using ''scp'' and ''sftp''.

[[TableOfContents]]

= Using scp =
You can use plain `scp`, but it overwrites destination files and is usually only applicable when you are uploading new files to HCoop.  If you don't want that to happen, please use [:../rsync:rsync]:

{{{
scp -r ~/html/hcoop/* USER@mire.hcoop.net:public_html
}}}

= Using sftp =
You can run command-line sftp (Secure FTP) tool:

{{{
sftp USER@mire.hcoop.net
Connecting to mire.hcoop.net...
Password:
sftp> help
}}}

With GUI FTP clients, SFTP connection is possible if the clients support "Secure FTP" or similar as the connection method. In Unix/Gnome, you could use for example `gftp`; for KDE, use the sftp KIO slave (`sftp://hcoop.net` in Konqueror); for Microsoft Windows, example clients are the free [http://WinSCP.sourceforge.net WinSCP], or proprietary FTP Voyager.
