Toolserver:Transferring files

Default files and directories
Each account folder is located in the home directory and comes preloaded with a number of files and directories.

Transferring files
To transfer files to the Toolserver, you can either connect through the command-line interface or via a GUI. You should connect to the Toolserver using a secure program such as SCP or SFTP. A list of SFTP clients for various operating systems is available here.

SFTP
The program sftp acts comething like ftp but encrypts the connection. To connect using SFTP and a command-line interface, run
 * sftp login.toolserver.org

Then enter the passphrase for your private SSH key. You will be presented with an SFTP command prompt; type help to list the available commands.

To connect using SFTP and a GUI program, you will need to use the following information:
 * Protocol: SFTP
 * Port: 22
 * Server: login.toolserver.org
 * Username: username
 * Password: You will need to configure your client to use your SSH key.

SCP
The program scp acts something like cp, but uses an ssh connection to copy files to a remote computer. To copy filename from your local computer to Toolserver, run
 * scp filename login.toolserver.org:destination-filename

To copy from toolserver to your local computer, run
 * scp login.toolserver.org:remote-filename local-filename
