File Transfer Protocol DEFINITION File transfer protocol is a standardized method for sending unencoded binary files over IP connections. FTPing a file is more reliable than other methods, such as.

There's no way to initiate a file transfer back to/from local Windows from a SSH session opened in PuTTY window. Though PuTTY supports connection-sharing. While you still need to run a compatible file transfer client (the pscp or psftp), no new login is required, it automatically (if enabled) makes use of an existing PuTTY session. To enable the sharing see:. Alternative way is to use WinSCP, a GUI SFTP/SCP client.

While you browse the remote site, you can anytime open SSH terminal to the same site using Open in PuTTY button. With an additional setup, you can even make PuTTY automatically navigate to the same directory you are browsing with WinSCP. (I'm the author of WinSCP).

Transferring files with Putty (pscp/plink.exe) The default putty installation provides multiple ways to transfer files. Most likely putty is on your default path, so you can directly call putty from the command prompt. If it doesnt, you may have to change your environmental variables. Since you asked about to/from, here's a trick that works for the 'from' part.

Screen, Terminal, and under 'Printer to send ANSI printer output to:' select 'Generic / Text Only' Now on the remote system, run this on one line: tput mc5; cat whatever.txt; tput mc4 Putty will inform you that the file was saved. What this is doing is putting the terminal into printer mode (tput mc5), printing the file to the screen (cat), and then turning off printer mode (tput mc4). If you don't put all the commands on one line, the screen will appear frozen because Putty is saving all terminal output to a file in the background. If you're on a more limited system that doesn't have the tput command (e.g.

A qnap), you can try printf ' x1b[5i' instead of tput mc5, and printf ' x1b[4i' instead of tput mc4. The command in the middle is just anything that prints to the screen. So use tail -n 10000 blah.log to download the last 10k lines of the log file, or use a base64 encoder to map a binary file to something you can print (and then decode on your local system): printf ' x1b[5i'; openssl enc -base64 -in something.zip; printf ' x1b[4i'.

I'm trying to upload a firmware file over serial connection to a device that requires YMODEM protocol, from a raspberry pi. After a lot of digging, I keep finding that the sz --ymodem [file] command is the tool to do this. I've already managed to just communicate with the device using example, but I'm having no luck with sz. I've read through the sz documentation and it leaves me with a question.

How do I determine if it is sending to the device? It is plugged in via USB and has port /dev/ttyACM0. Other examples talk about sending from a remote host to a local host via sz by default, but that's as deep as any explanation goes. The device has a command which tells it to anticipate a file transfer; I believe this takes the place of rz, but the device documentation says it 'Prepares the device for YMODEM transfer via HyperTerminal.'

I've sent it the files via HyperTerminal and a proprietary program successfully, but I need to be able to do it on linux command line. I'm sure this is a case of inexperience and I'm missing something obvious, but how can I fully execute this file transfer from start to finish / what am I doing wrong? Rz and sz date back to the days when people used to dial into modems attached to larger computer systems and login. To send files back, one of several protocols could be used, kermit, xmodem, ymodem and zmodem. The channel that the files were sent over were the actual login session.

So one would start the transfer program on the host, and it would start its protocol handshaking. Then on the terminal program, you'd activate the transfer protocol option. The hope was that the terminal program and the host computer would establish their place in the protocol and transfer the file.

Zmodem actually defined a flag sequence, so that when the host started a transfer, terminal programs that supported the automatic start would begin the transfer. TELIX was a popular terminal program that supported this. Hyperterm used to support several transfer protocols on the PC. If you were connected to the Pi via a serial port, that may be what you are looking for. What you need to do is think about yourself as being on the raspberry pi, and running a terminal program on the Pi itself to talk to this serial port.
