SCP Transfers

You can also use plain scp, but it overwrites destination files and is usually only applicable when you are uploading new files to HCoop:

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

SFTP Transfers

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

sftp USER@hcoop.net
Connecting to 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.
