Step 1: Download PuTTy and PuTTy SCP (pscp).<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- You need to download PuTTy<\/a><\/strong>, and PuTTY SCP (pscp) if you don\u2019t have it in your system.<\/li>\n
- Ensure pscp.exe<\/strong> is in your system’s PATH or navigate to its directory using the command prompt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Step 2: Transferring files using \u201cpscp\u201d.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n- Open Command Prompt. You can either search and open it or just use Windows key + R, then type cmd to open it.<\/li>\n
- Now navigate to the directory containing the \u201cpscp.exe\u201d. You can do that by running this command in the CMD.
\n$ cd C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_1-2.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\n\n- Use the following command to transfer the file to the Linux VPS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Command format:<\/strong>
\n$ pscp path\\to\\local\\file username@VPS_IP:\/path\/to\/remote\/directory<\/strong><\/p>\nTo transfer C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Documents\\transfer.txt to \/home\/your_vps_user\/ on the VPS, use this command:
\n$ pscp C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Documents\\transfer.txt<\/strong>
\nyour_vps_user_name@VPS_IP:\/home\/your_vps_user\/<\/strong><\/p>\nIf your VPS\u2019s IP is: 184.164.81.56 and your files name is: transfer_test.txt and the VPS\u2019s username is root, then the command will look like this:
\n$ pscp “C:\\Users\\farha\\Documents\\transfr\\transfer_test.txt” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_2-2.png\")
<\/a>
\nIf you want to move a folder to the linux VPS, then the command will look a bit different.<\/p>\nCommand format:<\/strong>
\npscp -r path\\to\\local\\folder username@184.164.81.56:\/path\/to\/remote\/directory<\/strong><\/p>\nIf your folder\u2019s name is \u201ctransfr\u201d, then the actual command will look like this:
\npscp -r “C:\\Users\\farha\\Documents\\transfr” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_3-1.png\")
<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nStep 3: Verify if the file has been transferred successfully.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- If you want to check if the file has been transferred, then open PuTTy and login to the VPS.<\/li>\n
- Then Navigate to the directory where you transferred it.<\/li>\n
- Go to the directory by using $ cd home<\/li>\n
- Then use this command: $ ls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_4-1.png\")
<\/a>
\nIf you want to remove the file, then use the \u201crm\u201d command.<\/p>\nStep 4: Removing a file or directory if needed.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n- $ rm tranfer_test.txt<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Then use this command: $ ls<\/strong>
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_5-1.png\")
<\/a>
\nIf you want to remove a directory, then use \u201crm -r\u201d command<\/li>\n- $ rm -r transfr<\/strong><\/li>\n
- If you type $ ls<\/strong> again, you will no longer<\/strong> see the file or directory there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_6-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThis is how you can easily transfer files from your Windows VPS or PC to a Linux VPS via SSH.<\/p>\n
Transferring files between two Linux VPS:<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou can also transfer files from one Linux VPS to another Linux VPS. For that follow the instructions given below:<\/p>\n
\n- Open Command Prompt<\/li>\n
- Login to your Source VPS that contains your files, then type this command and hit enter:
\n$ ssh root@source_vps_ip<\/strong>
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_12.png\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- Enter your VPS password. (You may be asked to type yes or y to confirm the connection before entering the password).<\/li>\n
- Determine which file you want to transfer and the location\/directory of the file.
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_7-1.png\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- You can use the \u201cscp\u201d command to move files between a source VPS and a destination VPS.<\/li>\n
- General Command format:
\n$ scp \u201c\/home\/folder1\/filename.ext\u201d root@destination_ip:\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHere \u201c\/home\/folder1\/filename.ext\u201d is the location\/directory of the file in the source VPS. This part is for the destination VPS \u201croot@destination_ip:\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext\u201d.
\nHere root@destination_ip is the username@destination_ip, :\u201d\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext\u201d is the destination directory to transfer the file\/folder.<\/p>\n
For Example, If the Destination VPS\u2019s IP is: 170.205.52.101 and the username is \u201croot\u201d; and the file is in \u201chome\/transfr\u201d directory in the Source VPS (184.164.81.56), then use the following command to transfer the file:
\n$ scp “\/home\/transfr\/new_file.txt” root@170.205.52.101:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_8.png\")
<\/a>
\nIf you check in this Destination VPS: 170.205.52.101 you will see the file there.
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_9-1.png\")
<\/a>
\nIf you want to transfer the whole folder\/directory, then just add \u201c-r\u201d after \u201cscp\u201d.
\nThe command will look something like this:
\n$ scp -r “\/home\/transfr\/” root@170.205.52.101:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_10-1.png\")
<\/a>
\nIf you check again, you will see the folder there now.
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/firevps.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_11.png\")
<\/a>
\nYou can transfer files from VPS (170.205.52.101) to VPS (184.164.81.56) too. Just change the IP and directory name accordingly.
\n$ scp “\/file name” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\nFor folder\/directory:
\n$ scp -r “\/Folder or directory name\/” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>

Step 2: Transferring files using \u201cpscp\u201d.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n- Open Command Prompt. You can either search and open it or just use Windows key + R, then type cmd to open it.<\/li>\n
- Now navigate to the directory containing the \u201cpscp.exe\u201d. You can do that by running this command in the CMD.
\n$ cd C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n- Use the following command to transfer the file to the Linux VPS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Command format:<\/strong>
\n$ pscp path\\to\\local\\file username@VPS_IP:\/path\/to\/remote\/directory<\/strong><\/p>\nTo transfer C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Documents\\transfer.txt to \/home\/your_vps_user\/ on the VPS, use this command:
\n$ pscp C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Documents\\transfer.txt<\/strong>
\nyour_vps_user_name@VPS_IP:\/home\/your_vps_user\/<\/strong><\/p>\nIf your VPS\u2019s IP is: 184.164.81.56 and your files name is: transfer_test.txt and the VPS\u2019s username is root, then the command will look like this:
\n$ pscp “C:\\Users\\farha\\Documents\\transfr\\transfer_test.txt” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you want to move a folder to the linux VPS, then the command will look a bit different.<\/p>\nCommand format:<\/strong>
\npscp -r path\\to\\local\\folder username@184.164.81.56:\/path\/to\/remote\/directory<\/strong><\/p>\nIf your folder\u2019s name is \u201ctransfr\u201d, then the actual command will look like this:
\npscp -r “C:\\Users\\farha\\Documents\\transfr” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/
\n<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nStep 3: Verify if the file has been transferred successfully.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- If you want to check if the file has been transferred, then open PuTTy and login to the VPS.<\/li>\n
- Then Navigate to the directory where you transferred it.<\/li>\n
- Go to the directory by using $ cd home<\/li>\n
- Then use this command: $ ls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a>
\nIf you want to remove the file, then use the \u201crm\u201d command.<\/p>\nStep 4: Removing a file or directory if needed.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n- $ rm tranfer_test.txt<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Then use this command: $ ls<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you want to remove a directory, then use \u201crm -r\u201d command<\/li>\n- $ rm -r transfr<\/strong><\/li>\n
- If you type $ ls<\/strong> again, you will no longer<\/strong> see the file or directory there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nThis is how you can easily transfer files from your Windows VPS or PC to a Linux VPS via SSH.<\/p>\n
Transferring files between two Linux VPS:<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou can also transfer files from one Linux VPS to another Linux VPS. For that follow the instructions given below:<\/p>\n
\n- Open Command Prompt<\/li>\n
- Login to your Source VPS that contains your files, then type this command and hit enter:
\n$ ssh root@source_vps_ip<\/strong>
\n<\/a><\/li>\n- Enter your VPS password. (You may be asked to type yes or y to confirm the connection before entering the password).<\/li>\n
- Determine which file you want to transfer and the location\/directory of the file.
\n<\/a><\/li>\n- You can use the \u201cscp\u201d command to move files between a source VPS and a destination VPS.<\/li>\n
- General Command format:
\n$ scp \u201c\/home\/folder1\/filename.ext\u201d root@destination_ip:\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHere \u201c\/home\/folder1\/filename.ext\u201d is the location\/directory of the file in the source VPS. This part is for the destination VPS \u201croot@destination_ip:\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext\u201d.
\nHere root@destination_ip is the username@destination_ip, :\u201d\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext\u201d is the destination directory to transfer the file\/folder.<\/p>\n
For Example, If the Destination VPS\u2019s IP is: 170.205.52.101 and the username is \u201croot\u201d; and the file is in \u201chome\/transfr\u201d directory in the Source VPS (184.164.81.56), then use the following command to transfer the file:
\n$ scp “\/home\/transfr\/new_file.txt” root@170.205.52.101:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you check in this Destination VPS: 170.205.52.101 you will see the file there.
\n<\/a>
\nIf you want to transfer the whole folder\/directory, then just add \u201c-r\u201d after \u201cscp\u201d.
\nThe command will look something like this:
\n$ scp -r “\/home\/transfr\/” root@170.205.52.101:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you check again, you will see the folder there now.
\n<\/a>
\nYou can transfer files from VPS (170.205.52.101) to VPS (184.164.81.56) too. Just change the IP and directory name accordingly.
\n$ scp “\/file name” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\nFor folder\/directory:
\n$ scp -r “\/Folder or directory name\/” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\nThis is how you can transfer files between two different Linux VPS easily.<\/p>\nFireVPS<\/a><\/strong> offers both Windows VPS\/RDP<\/a><\/strong> and Linux VPS<\/a><\/strong>.

- \n
- Open Command Prompt. You can either search and open it or just use Windows key + R, then type cmd to open it.<\/li>\n
- Now navigate to the directory containing the \u201cpscp.exe\u201d. You can do that by running this command in the CMD.
\n$ cd C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/a><\/p>\n- \n
- Use the following command to transfer the file to the Linux VPS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Command format:<\/strong>
\n$ pscp path\\to\\local\\file username@VPS_IP:\/path\/to\/remote\/directory<\/strong><\/p>\nTo transfer C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Documents\\transfer.txt to \/home\/your_vps_user\/ on the VPS, use this command:
\n$ pscp C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Documents\\transfer.txt<\/strong>
\nyour_vps_user_name@VPS_IP:\/home\/your_vps_user\/<\/strong><\/p>\nIf your VPS\u2019s IP is: 184.164.81.56 and your files name is: transfer_test.txt and the VPS\u2019s username is root, then the command will look like this:
\n$ pscp “C:\\Users\\farha\\Documents\\transfr\\transfer_test.txt” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you want to move a folder to the linux VPS, then the command will look a bit different.<\/p>\nCommand format:<\/strong>
\npscp -r path\\to\\local\\folder username@184.164.81.56:\/path\/to\/remote\/directory<\/strong><\/p>\nIf your folder\u2019s name is \u201ctransfr\u201d, then the actual command will look like this:
\npscp -r “C:\\Users\\farha\\Documents\\transfr” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/
\n<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nStep 3: Verify if the file has been transferred successfully.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
- \n
- If you want to check if the file has been transferred, then open PuTTy and login to the VPS.<\/li>\n
- Then Navigate to the directory where you transferred it.<\/li>\n
- Go to the directory by using $ cd home<\/li>\n
- Then use this command: $ ls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/a>
\nIf you want to remove the file, then use the \u201crm\u201d command.<\/p>\nStep 4: Removing a file or directory if needed.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
- \n
- $ rm tranfer_test.txt<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Then use this command: $ ls<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you want to remove a directory, then use \u201crm -r\u201d command<\/li>\n- $ rm -r transfr<\/strong><\/li>\n
- If you type $ ls<\/strong> again, you will no longer<\/strong> see the file or directory there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nThis is how you can easily transfer files from your Windows VPS or PC to a Linux VPS via SSH.<\/p>\n
Transferring files between two Linux VPS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
You can also transfer files from one Linux VPS to another Linux VPS. For that follow the instructions given below:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open Command Prompt<\/li>\n
- Login to your Source VPS that contains your files, then type this command and hit enter:
\n$ ssh root@source_vps_ip<\/strong>
\n<\/a><\/li>\n- Enter your VPS password. (You may be asked to type yes or y to confirm the connection before entering the password).<\/li>\n
- Determine which file you want to transfer and the location\/directory of the file.
\n<\/a><\/li>\n- You can use the \u201cscp\u201d command to move files between a source VPS and a destination VPS.<\/li>\n
- General Command format:
\n$ scp \u201c\/home\/folder1\/filename.ext\u201d root@destination_ip:\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHere \u201c\/home\/folder1\/filename.ext\u201d is the location\/directory of the file in the source VPS. This part is for the destination VPS \u201croot@destination_ip:\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext\u201d.
\nHere root@destination_ip is the username@destination_ip, :\u201d\/home\/folder2\/filename.ext\u201d is the destination directory to transfer the file\/folder.<\/p>\nFor Example, If the Destination VPS\u2019s IP is: 170.205.52.101 and the username is \u201croot\u201d; and the file is in \u201chome\/transfr\u201d directory in the Source VPS (184.164.81.56), then use the following command to transfer the file:
\n$ scp “\/home\/transfr\/new_file.txt” root@170.205.52.101:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you check in this Destination VPS: 170.205.52.101 you will see the file there.
\n<\/a>
\nIf you want to transfer the whole folder\/directory, then just add \u201c-r\u201d after \u201cscp\u201d.
\nThe command will look something like this:
\n$ scp -r “\/home\/transfr\/” root@170.205.52.101:\/home\/<\/strong>
\n<\/a>
\nIf you check again, you will see the folder there now.
\n<\/a>
\nYou can transfer files from VPS (170.205.52.101) to VPS (184.164.81.56) too. Just change the IP and directory name accordingly.
\n$ scp “\/file name” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\nFor folder\/directory:
\n$ scp -r “\/Folder or directory name\/” root@184.164.81.56:\/home\/<\/strong>
\nThis is how you can transfer files between two different Linux VPS easily.<\/p>\nFireVPS<\/a><\/strong> offers both Windows VPS\/RDP<\/a><\/strong> and Linux VPS<\/a><\/strong>.
