mput for sftp

Gavin Clarke — Fri, 29 Aug 2003 14:52:59 GMT

I'm trying really hard to be a good boy, stopping ftp services and using sftp and psftp (ssh) instead.

The problem I've got is that I've got 50 files to put from windows to this server and psftp has no mput.

I know there's -b option for batch processing, that still means doing a dir to a file and adding put to the begining of every line.

Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance for any hints and tips.

with ftp wildcarts work.

put *.tape

will work.

You might want to explore the scp command after exchange of public keys. I'm attaching a doc and it works nicely in batch with no password challenge.

alternatives:

- use nsftp, supports multiple put/get
- use scp

Ciao,

Yes, Steven is right, scp (ssh cp) works fine and can handle * wildcard. You can also avoid password typing with an appropiate private/public RSA key authentication.
The way to be a good boy is not so hard...:)

Thanks for the replies, have read the doc on keys will re-read.

scp, is this not UNIX to UNIX? Probably quite handy, not what I'm trying to do right now though.

Where do I get this nsftp from please?

Thanks again this is all very helpful to me.
