HPUX 11.00: HP Secure Shell

[LG Porter]

I have several HP servers running HPUX 11.00 that I will be installing HP Secure Shell within the near fuure. Questions: A) I would like to know what client software is required to use functions like "sftp" and "ssh" from a PC to a HP server with HP Secure Shell installed? B) What is the correct syntax for using "sftp" and "scp" from a pc to HP unix server and between HP servers?

[Steven E. Protter · Accepted solution]

from the pc

scp user@unixhost:/target_directory

sftp user@unixhost
# regular ftp commands except binary and ascii

from unix

scp user@pchost:/target_directory

sftp user@pchost


See attached document on setting up password free scp/sftp/ssh between Unix hosts.

There are several clients around. Personally, I like Putty, which is available at:

Putty comes with a nice qui, so your users will not have to use the command lines. However, if you need to use the commands, they are very similar to ftp and telnet.

If I understand your comments, there is no client software required on the pc to use the secure copy (scp) command and the secure file transfer protocol (sftp) from the pc to the HP unix severs? Right?

[Charlie Rubeor]

I don't believe that the secure shell programs come standard with any windows version. They are standard on linux, however.

The commands should be available after you install whichever ssh client you choose. Just make sure that you include the scp and sftp programs.

Remember to adjust your windows path or include the full directory in the commands. Without testing, the command would look something like this, if you used Putty and installed it in the Program files:

c:\Progra~1\putty\scp user@host1:file1 user@host2:file2

Hi,

You need a client software to connect to the HP server via SSH. The free version available and that is widely in use is "Putty". You can download it from here.

Steven already gave you the syntax.

hi,

A) Yes, client software is require which may be either freeware, PUTTY or evaluation software, ssh secure shell for workstation from ssh communications security:

B) for ssh secure shell for workstation from ssh communications security:

at the workstation, the syntax for scp -> scp2 -h

at the workstation, the syntax for sftp -> sftp2 -h

regards.
