SSH : is know as secure shell used to secure remote login over insecure network.
You can login to other machine, assuming ssh server is running on machine you want to login.
1> install ssh (sudo apt-get install ssh)
2>remote login:
- Let us say remote system is: bharatj@nsl-32.cse.iitb.ac.in or bharatj@ipaddress
- Write on terminal as follows:
- ssh bharatj@nsl-32.cse.iitb.ac.in
- Ask for password (enter your remote system password)
- Now you are on remote machine which can be seen as
- bharatj@nsl-32$ (terminal prompt)
- Now you can browse through the contents using cd etc commands.
Copying file from remote machine to local machine:
1>Write command on terminal as follows:
scp bharatj@nsl-32.cse.iitb.ac.in:sourcepath/source-file destination-path
For ex: source path is /users1/pg09/bharatj/Desktop
source file is tracker.c
destination path /home/bharatj/Desktop
So after this tracker.c will be copied on local machine on desktop location.
Copying directory from Remote machine to Local machine:
1> Write on terminal :
scp -r bharatj@nsl-32.cse.iitb.ac.in: /users1/pg09/bharatj/Desktop/experiment /home/bharatj/Desktop
This will copy directory experiment from remote machine to local machine on Desktop.
Note: scp -------------- for file transfer
scp -r -------------for directory
Copying file from Local machine to Remote machine:
1> scp file.pdf bharatj@nsl-32.cse.iitb.ac.in:/users1/pg09/bharatj/Desktop
This will copy file file.pdf from Local machine to remote machine on Desktop.
Copying directory from Local to Remote Machine:
1>scp -r MTP bharatj@nsl-32.cse.iitb.ac.in:/user1/pg09/bharatj/Desktop
This will copy directory MTP from local machine to Remote machine Desktop.
