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