The most commonly used protocol for transferring files here is scp. It belongs together with ssh and is often installed together with it.
The syntax is similar to that for cp:
scp from to
Here from and to can be local filenames or look
like computer:filename or
username@computer:filename
(for when you have a different username on the other computer).
(So if a user ellen here right now is sitting at another
computer she can copy a file foo.htm there to
be ~ellen/public_html/foo.html here with
scp foo.htm ellen@cl.lingfil.uu.se:public_html/foo.html
To fetch a file from another computer it will instead be the first
argument to scp that will be longer one.
MS Windows
Microsoft Windows does not include an SCP client, so if you want to
copy files from your Microsoft Windows computer you need to install
one first. One option is pscp which is part of Putty.
You can download
it from here.
