SCP

Linux

On Linux, SCP transfers can be initiated via the command line. Bring up a terminal, and follow the instructions below, replacing source with the name of the file you want to copy, username with your CSE username, /path/to/ with the path on the server, and target with the filename that you want the copy to have.

Copying to server with SCP

scp source username@login.cse.unsw.edu.au:/path/to/target

Copying from server with SCP

scp username@login.cse.unsw.edu.au:/path/to/source target
