SSH can be set up using a pair of keys a public key that is stored on the SSH server, and a private key that is locally stored on the SSH client. SSH stands for Secure Shell, is commonly implemented using the client-server model one computer is called the SSH client and another machine acts as the SSH server. It is best used for accessing the remote servers when you use this SSH key, and you will get the command-line interface of the server. SSH Protocol, thinks about protocol as rules of transferring encoded data over the network. With an additional setup, you can even make PuTTY automatically navigate to the same directory you are browsing with WinSCP.6 min read Photo by Kevin Horvat / Unsplash While you browse the remote site, you can anytime open SSH terminal to the same site using Open in PuTTY command. If you really want to download the files to a local desktop, you have to specify a target path as %USERPROFILE%\Desktop (what typically resolves to a path like C:\Users\username\Desktop).Īlternative way is to use WinSCP, a GUI SFTP/SCP client. It's primarily *nix program, but you can run it via Windows Subsystem for Linux or get a Windows build from Win32-OpenSSH (it is already built-in in the recent versions of Windows 10 and in Windows 11). See How to use PSCP to copy file from Unix machine to Windows machine. Sharing an SSH connection between PuTTY tools.Įven without connection-sharing, you can still use the psftp or pscp from Windows command line. While you still need to run a compatible file transfer client ( pscp or psftp), no new login is required, it automatically (if enabled) makes use of an existing PuTTY session. Though PuTTY supports connection-sharing. There's no way to initiate a file transfer back to/from local Windows from a SSH session opened in PuTTY window.
