Linux sftp command usage

Concept of SFTP

sftp is the abbreviation of Secure File Transfer Protocol, a secure file transfer protocol. It can provide a secure network encryption method for transferring files. sftp has almost the same syntax and functionality as ftp. SFTP is a part of SSH and is a secure way to transfer files to your Blogger server. In fact, the SSH software package already includes a secure file information transfer subsystem called SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). SFTP itself does not have a separate daemon process. It must use the sshd daemon process (the default port number is 22) to complete the corresponding connection and reply operations. So in a sense, SFTP is not like a server program, but more like a client program. SFTP also uses encryption to transmit authentication information and transmitted data, so using SFTP is very safe. However, since this transmission method uses encryption/decryption technology, the transmission efficiency is much lower than that of ordinary FTP. If you have higher requirements for network security, you can use SFTP instead of FTP. (From Baidu Encyclopedia)

Here we use sftp to upload and download files on the remote server and local computer.

usage:

Connect to the remote server:

sftp username@ip

Press Enter and enter the server password to connect successfully.

Upload the file to the server:

put [address of local file] [location where file is stored on server]

Download the file on the server to your local computer:

get [location where the file is stored on the server] [location where the file is to be stored locally]

get [location where the file is stored on the server] [location where the file is to be stored locally]

Finally, let me share a command to return to the previous directory in Linux:

cd ..
