What is the recommended method for uploading and downloading files?
Answer
SCP is the recommended method for uploading or downloading files from the NPS server.
To/From the NPS to a Unix system:
To upload a file to the NPS, run the following command as 'nz' on the NPS host:
scp <user>@<remote host ip>:/path/to/file /local/directory/file
To download a file to another Unix system, execute the following as 'nz' on the NPS host:
scp /local/directory/file <user>@<remote host ip>:/path/to/file
Note: The remote Unix system must be running SSHD and local account permissions do apply.
To/From the NPS to a MS Windows system:
1. Install the WinSCP client on your windows system. (You can download it for free from http://winscp.net)
2. Configure a WinSCP session to connect to the NPS; you must provide an IP address, username, and password.
3. Connect to the NPS system.
4. To upload a file to the NPS, drag a file in the local computer to a directory in the NPS filesystem. (Note that local account permissions do apply.)
To download a file from the NPS, drag a file in the NPS host filesystem to a local MS Windows directory.
Note: When transferring files, be aware of the transfer type: Text or Binary.
