Download Files Using SSH & Putty

[Supafly]

I have my server backup sites to a /backup/ folder. But how can I download those backup files vis SSH? I've tried 'get filename' but it says the command is not found.

google for winSCP it'll be your best friend

I agree, WinSCP is certainly a better option for transferring files. It effectively provides a visual FTP-style interface through an SSH connection.

personally, I use secureCRT and the zmodem protocol.. I just type sz filename and it's on it's way

I use SecureCRT and SecureFX as well, but WinSCP has an advantage. It's free.

You can find WinSCP at http://www.winscp.net and SecureFX and SecureCRT at http://www.vandyke.com.

I use the client from ssh.com simply because I find it the best combined SSH and SFTP client for the way I work.

If you're a MacOSX user, try rBrowser for this sort of stuff.

Eh, just use sftp or scp

Just tried downloading this backup file:
-rw------- 1 r***** r***** 5573586296 Mar 16 09:31

But after downloading 1.2 gig of a 5.6 gig it says it's finished!

Cpanel is wonderful, but trying to download a backup from the server is a pain.

Switched to winscp and it resumed the download, but got stuck at 4gb saying disk was full when it wasn't. Took me a while to figure out what was wrong but I eventually realised that it was the FAT 32 file system on the drive which has a 4GB limit! Converted drive to NTFS and everything is fine now.
