Secure Shell (SSH) → SSH File Transfers

The best ways to transfer files over an SSH connection are SCP or Zmodem. For both methods you will need to switch ZOC to the corresponding file transfer protocol: Either go to Options→Session Profile→Transfers and activate SCP or Zmodem. Alternately, if you are connecting to the host from an entry in the ZOC host directory, you can select the file transfer protocol in the entry's Options tab.

Connect to a remote server via SSH and login to the shell prompt. To send a file (or multiple files) from your computer to the remote host, select the Upload function from ZOC's Transfer menu. Alternately, to transfer a file or folder from the remote computer to your local computer, select the Download function.

The source/destination folder on the remote computer will be your current working directory there. For the local computer, the default up/download folders are configured in Options→Program Options→Folders.

Most Unix/Linux systems haven an implementation of Zmodem installed and preconfigured (if not, look for a package named lrzsz.zip on the internet or ask our support). ZOC and rz/sz works very well over a SSH connection and integrates seamlessly with ZOC.

See Zmodem Transfer for a description of how Zmodem is used from a Linux command line and for a description of options.
