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@ssh.hcoop.net:public_html
}}}

= Using sftp =

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

{{{
sftp USER@ssh.hcoop.net
Connecting to ssh.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://ssh.hcoop.net:` in Konqueror or Dolphin); for Microsoft Windows, [[http://WinSCP.sourceforge.net|WinSCP]] is recommended.
