To find a list of the hostnames, see Lab Maps with Hostnames section.
To scp a file from Mac/Linux:
1.
Open up Terminal.
2.
Type in the following command
filling in the paths where bracketed:
scp <MathCS_Account>@math.whitman.edu:~/<directory_name>/<file_name>
~/<local_directory_name>/
If you need help locating your file in terminal, review the Linux Commands section below. You can also use the SSH instructions above remote into your directory and see the files.
3.
When prompted, put in your account password to start the transfer.
4.
Exit the terminal when complete.
Example Scenario:
scp smithj@math.whitman.edu:~/homework/homework1.py
~/Documents/
To scp into a Lab Computer from Windows:
There are no native SCP capabilities for Windows, so youŐll need to install a File Transfer Protocol program called FileZilla.
1.
Download FileZilla
for Windows from the following website:
a.
https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
b.
The file will need to be installed
once it is downloaded.
2.
Open FileZilla.
3.
Fill in the fields at the top with the following information:
a.
Host: math.whitman.edu
b.
Username: <MathCS_Account>
c.
Password: <MathCS_Account_Password>
d.
Port: 22
4.
Click Quickconnect
and Filezilla will connect with your personal
directory on math.whitman.edu and display it in the right pane under Remote site.
5.
From here, locate the file you
wish to transfer and drag it into left pane under Local site, which contains your local computer file structure.
6.
When you are
finished copying files, close down Filezilla.
