I have a remote server and I connect it via PuTTY software.
I've downloaded a file to my Downloads folder in my Windows OS laptop.
Now, I have to transfer this file to that remote server, using SCP Unix command.

Can someone bring me a clear and specified pattern or even an example of that command to my situation ?

You can use PSCP to copy files from Windows to Linux.

  1. Download PSCP from putty.org
  2. Open cmd in the directory with pscp.exe file
  3. Type command pscp source_file user@host:destination_file

For example:-

pscp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\myfile.txt admin@192.168.1.1:/home/path_to_the_folder/

  • If you (or whoever) installed using the recommended MSI (at the top of the chiark page, since maybe a decade now) all the tools (`pscp plink puttygen` etc) are already installed and you don't need to download anything more, and in your PATH so the directory doesn't matter. – dave_thompson_085 Dec 28 '19 at 04:53

You can use pscp file user@remotehost:

Try WinSCP Get it here

You can login to the Linux server and transfer files using a GUI.

You can also use WinSCP from the Windows machine to copy files to or from the linux server.

Note that you will need to setup an ftp server on the linux server if you don't already have one running with this method.

  • Most Linux servers come with a built-in SSH server. That's all you need to connect with WinSCP (using SFTP protocol). – No need to setup an FTP server. – Martin Prikryl Dec 28 '19 at 14:46
