Re: Transferring files over SSH in the console

How so? With scp I can send file to the machine that I'm remotely
connected to?

Of course.  It's a *copy* program.


For copying to a remote machine. But once I have a shell on that
machine open in my terminal, I'm not able to send commands to my local
machine in that terminal.


So there, no shell. I need a shell.


You wanted "put", I give you "put".


No, I already have "put" with sftp. But I want "put" and "which". Am I
really the first person in forty years of Unix history who needs to
both run commands and to transfer files to a remote machine?


scp is for putting files, not for getting files.


That's just *not* true. It doesn't care whether the source or destination
are remote or local.


You're right! Thanks. It's logical, but I never used it that way
(never had a need and never saw a a mention of it).
