SFTP
The sftp utility is a command-line interactive interface, similar to ftp, that lets you
connect to a remote host, navigate its file system, and transfer files. The following
example shows how to use sftp at a UNIX command prompt:
cd /home/cloudtmp
sftp -i /home/.ssh/your-key.pem \
clouduser@ec2-67-202-5-207.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/shared/persisted
sftp> put emem.mat
sftp> ls
emem.mat
sftp> exit
For more information about the sftp utility, use the following commands:
sftp -help
man sftp
SCP
The scp utility lets you access the remote host, and transfer the file, in a single
command. This example shows the UNIX version of the command:
scp -i /home/.ssh/your-key.pem emem.mat \
clouduser@ec2-67-202-5-207.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/shared/persisted
For more information about the scp utility, use the following commands:
scp -help
man scp
FileZilla
FileZilla is a GUI utility which lets you connect to the cloud cluster head node and
transfer files with an easy drag-and-drop technique. This example shows how to transfer
the local file C:\cloudtmp\emem.mat to the folder /shared/persisted on your cloud
cluster.
1
Start FileZilla, and set its Local site to the folder you want to transfer your local file
from (or to).
2
To connect FileZilla to your cloud cluster file system, specify the host that is the head
node of your cloud cluster. The user name is always clouduser. Use port 22 for
SFTP connections.
