Okay, I've asked around and did a bit of searching got a few answers, nothing has worked. I know for a fact that Nadrew told me this months ago, I even saved it in a text file, which has gone to better places, and my mind wasn't one of them.
I'm trying to copy a bunch of files from my laptop(running windows) to my linux server(ubuntu), and I can't remember any commands for the life of me.
Now I've got cp obviously for copying the files, and cd is obviously for changing directory, I've got the putty terminal sitting in the linux directory where I want the file, but I need to access the file on my laptop, I've been told it's ldir and lcd to do stuff on THIS computer, but that doesn't work. How would I change the directory on my laptop, so I can copy the files? I'd really appreciate the help.

I suggest using WinSCP to transfer between Windows and Linux environments. If you are running Linux, just set up an NFS share on your server and log into it using your laptop, then do the transfers using cp.
|
I have absolutely no idea how to do that. =(
I also have no access to the server right now, except from here. So everything I do has to be from this laptop. (I have my reasons, if you want details I'm not leaving it on the forum.) | |
Googling for WinSCP should come up with the program that you can use (in addition to PuTTY) to do easy file transfers.
Are you using Ubuntu? If so, you should be able to use the Connect to Server wizard to connect directly to your server remotely, and then you can do your file manager using Nautilus or Konqueror or whatever file manager you like. If you think I might benefit by knowing more about your setup, and it's something that you don't feel comfortable posting publicly, feel free to email me about it. | |
I recommend googling Core FTP, Me and WinSCP never got along lol. It is a great FTP program and should do exactly what you want it to do.
