How To Transfer Files From Linux To Windows (SSH/Putty)
How To Transfer Files From Linux To Windows
Copying data from one device to another is often considered an intimidating process. Transferring data from one operating system to another, such as from Windows to Linux or the other way, can be even more stressful. While the process of transferring data on cross-platforms such as in between Windows and Linux can be a little tricky, with the right tools and some accommodation, the process can be surprisingly easy.
Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is a method for secure remote login and file transfer. To use SSH for transferring data between Windows and Linux, we will first need an SSH client such as PuTTY. For the readers who do not have PuTTY installed on their computers, you can easily download, install, and set up PuTTY from putty.org for free. PuTTY comes with a terminal emulator for remote logins and also comes with tools like pscp (PuTTY secure copy client). PuTTY’s pscp allows users to securely copy files between Windows and Linux systems.
Users first need to download and install PuTTY pscp or other tools from here for the Windows and have an SSH-server setup and running on the Linux system. Also, note that port 22 needs to be open to allow the connections.
To install an SSH server, Debian based Linux systems such as Ubuntu can use these commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ssh-server
sudo service ssh start
With PuTTY’s pscp, moving files between Windows and Linux is straightforward. We need to give the path information of source and destination. You will also be needing the IP address of the Linux device, which can be found out using the ipconfig command. Here is the command structure to transfer data using pscp
