This is not usually the case, so most file transfer is done by running the file transfer software on the local machine and connecting to the CLS as the remote machine. The remote machine must be running a file transfer server of some sort, to receive a connection from the CLS. Rarely, you might be logged in to the CLS and want to connect from the CLS (the local machine) to another machine (the remote machine) to transfer a file.Ĭonnecting from the local Course Linux Server out to a remote machine (e.g. using a command-line ftp or ssh command) requires that the remote machine have its own accessible IP address – the remote machine should not itself be behind a firewall, unless you have arranged a pass-through port on that firewall. 1.2 Connecting from the Course Linux Server to other machines Index Use the private address when you are on-campus. The CLS also has an on-campus private IP address usable only via the VPN or while on campus at Algonquin College. This address is visible anywhere on the Internet, giving you access to the machine without needing to use the Algonquin College VPN. The CLS is located on the Internet at address (a public address). This means you need to know the network name of the CLS. Usually, you will be using some local machine (e.g. your own laptop or desktop machine running Windows or OSX) and you will want to connect to the Course Linux Server ( CLS) to transfer a file. 1.1 Connecting from other machines to the Course Linux Server Index You may only transfer files from the CLS to your local machine. The Course Linux Server is an example of a Unix/Linux machine.įor security reasons, SFTP file transfer to the CLS is not permitted. This file explains how to copy files between Unix/Linux machines and between Unix/Linux and other machines running Windows or Mac OSX. 4.4.1 Using Windows GUI via Windows Explorer.4.3.3 Example SCP and SFTP Windows Command Lines.4.3 The PuTTY suite of programs (PSCP, PSFTP).4.2.3 WinSCP Error due to: too large SFTP packet.4.2.2 Editing files using the WinSCP GUI.4.2.1 Transfer Type – use Binary not Text.3.1 FTP Binary Mode vs. Text Mode file transfer.3 Unix/Linux Insecure FTP – File Transfer Protocol (do not use).2.3 Unix/Linux/OSX: Using SFTP (includes Cygwin on Windows).2.2 Unix/Linux/OSX: Copy a file from the local machine to a remote machine.
