Introduction
There are different ways to transfer files within different systems and servers. I will be doing a short hands-on using FireZilla, an open-source ftp application.
SFTP
SSH File Transfer Protocol is just a more secure version of FTP. It’s also commonly called Secure File Transfer Protocol. For more details on SFTP and FTP and its differences, please refer to this article
Demo
I will be using a Linux system(CentOS7) and a Windows client PC in the same network (192.168.1.0/24) inside a VMWare workstation
First we need the FireZilla application installed in the client
After the installation, we can open the app and navigate to File -> Site management
In here I created a new site named 'Linux-1'
In the configuration for this 'site',
I basically entered the IP address for the Linux and the user name while setting the 'ask password' method for login. Also set the protocol as SFTP
After clicking on 'Ok', the app will ask for the user password
A message should appear that says that the connection to the 192.168.1.128 was successful + show us contents under /root
The main screen will show all of the files & directories under /root on the right and shows everything on our client PC on the left
On the Left,
On the right,
We can easily drag and drop the "Tests.txt" from the Windows Client to the Linux System
From Windows
To Linux
