SSH, SCP, SFTP and FileZilla

How can you login to a remote machine to update it or do maintenance? How can you exchange data between two machines securely? In this video, I'm going to briefly discuss SSH and some related tools.

by far the best, easiest and most informative tutorial i've ever seen on ssh. thanks :)

[codeartha]

Pro tip! On almost all terminal you can hit "ctrl + l" to clear the terminal (that's a lowercase L)

I have been looking for weeks for the scp command thack you

Great video, DT. I've always used rsync with ssh for my copies and backups.

[trailblazingfive]

thanks really informative; I'm now going thru your backlog - really love the content quality as well as the way it's presented. you seem really professional, I admire that!

Great tutorial DT, been ages since I used ssh... heck, been ages since I had anything to ssh into! :-)

I don't know if urxvt supports it, but on most terminals you can press CTRL+u to delete a line you typed, and CTRL+w to delete a word. Saves having to hold the backspace key down to wipe something you've entered or want to change. With as much as you work on the command line, thought it might be helpful to mention it.

Thanks DT the most consise and simple explanation I've found so far so I now feel confident to give it a go on manjaro cheers!

Great video, once again. SSH is fantastic to update many systems at one pc so I don't need to change from pc to another.

12:16 I tried FileZilla, but the font size was much too small.
I read something like that this is because of the main font size, but if that's the cause, then why don't I have the same problem in other programs?

[geezergeek]

Thanks for the tutorial.
Going to bookmark it, and use it for doing my own "lab" work,
and practice what you have shown us.

If the other computer had a different OS a nifty tool is Nitroshare:

Can't believe the imbalance between how useful this video is and how few thumbs-up's it got. Thanks, dt!

[rmcellig]

Nice video Derek. Did you have to install ssh-client and server for your demo to work?

[torspedia]

SSH isn't something I've played around with before, something I should really start rectifying, especially with using FileZilla to transfer files between computers (useful for new installs); didn't know I could do that before. Ta DT!

[ebiscaia]

Hi, DT

Is it possible to make other videos about sharing files and Remote Desktop options?

Cheers, Eduardo

[PhilippeBaucour]

Great video but have a look to unison to synchronize two Pc via ssh... Using unison between a laptop and a tower pc is really great... The same env and files between the two computers.

What software you're edit video with ?

[dragonboyjazz]

im going to try ssh it at some point, do i need it? nope, all 4 of my pc's are literally within arms reach but im lazy and i like this idea lol!!!!

do i need server installed on the machine i want to SSH into or does linux come with the server installed ? (currently using linux mint 19)

You really shouldn't set the same hostname on more than one system. Come up with something different and maybe more descriptive than "dt-pc"! For example, if those two machines are the only ones with Manjaro and Arco on them, then you can name them "manjaro" and "arco". Or if you want, you can name them after their physical locations, like "desktop" and "laptop". You can even come up with some codenames if you want. The important thing is to make sure you have unique and meaningful names for every system on the network.

I use ssh and scp to login and transfer files securely for my web server (r pi)
