If I'm connected to my home machine (from work) through SSH via PuTTY, is there a quick way I could grab a file from my home machine so I could have it at work, or a way to copy files from work to my home machine?

I'm kind of looking for just a quick command that would transfer the file... any suggestions?

Nobody knows...? Is it even possible?

When i installed putty it also installed psftp which is a command line ftp client.

I am not sure if you can do it from inside putty as there is no way to browse your local directory. Maybe you can, I'm not sure.

Do yourself a favor and install WINSCP if its a windows machine.

Edit: try the get command, that's what it is in psft, and I think that uses ssh, too.

No idea if it will work or if it does where it will go.

The linux command would be scp.

For example syntax,

scp username@homeserver:/path/file.ext ./

This does a secure copy over ssh. It logs in to the remote machine with 'username' at your computer (homeserver) to get the file (file.ext in the /path directory) and copies it to where ever you are located now (./).
