#Sshfile to local windows install#

I've used plink to get filter out log lines I don't need on the server side before straeming the parts I want to the client. Really can't think of a major advantage to using plink for a simple download, but instead of streaming it you can pipe it elsewhere (not even bothering to save it) or process it some other way in addition to saving it (e.g., with tee). When you connect via SSH, you authenticate using a private key file on your local machine. The example would stream file.txt on host to file.txt on client. It does what PuTTy does, except in cmd.exe.Įxample: plink 'cat file.txt' > file.txt This is similar to using the ssh command on Linux.

Comes with PuTTy installer, no need to install Cygwin or a Linux Subsystem for Windows.

Similar to other explanations provided involving scp. A fairly obvious lightweight solution is to use other tools that come with putty. A text file that contains a list of files always processed is used to check that only 'new' files are retrieved. SshSync only support pull type transfers, but it allows use of a Private Key to ensure that authentication is secure. I think both should are GPL'd, but might include a payload of crapware you'll probably want to be careful not to install.īut since a lot of people are throwing out non-GUI solutions, suggesting you install OpenSSH tools native to Linux, I thought I'd mention my preferred non-GUI solutions. Available commands: bye Quit sftp cd path Change remote directory to 'path' chgrp grp path Change group of file 'path' to 'grp' chmod mode path Change permissions of file 'path' to 'mode' chown own path Change owner of file 'path' to 'own' df -hi path Display statistics for current directory or filesystem containing 'path' exit Quit sftp get -Ppr remote local Download file help Display. A command line applications that allows intelligent Secure FTP transmissions.

Filezilla is better at FTP in my experience, but I like the Norton Commander-style WinSCP interface more. GUI solution is definitely filezilla or WinSCP.
