+ | ====== Transferring Files ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are several ways to transfer files to a server. The most reliable and consistent way is to use '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | One major advantage of using mobaxterm on windows machines is that it comes with some basic linux commands, including scp. On a mac, scp comes with the operating system. So if you want to copy a file that is on your Desktop to hpc from your laptop you can use the following command: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | [2015-06-11 07: | ||
+ | [Manpreet.WIN-OAOVO3NM02E] ➤ cp allusers.txt Desktop/ | ||
+ | ✔ | ||
+ | ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── | ||
+ | [2015-06-11 07: | ||
+ | [Manpreet.WIN-OAOVO3NM02E] ➤ scp Desktop/ | ||
+ | Unauthorized access is prohibited. | ||
+ | allusers_local.txt | ||
+ | |||
