Question

To transfer files with ftp I’ve been setting local directory with LCD /home/user/ and then setting the remote dir with cd /domain/folder. To check the current folder I use PWD (for remote) or !PWD (for local).

Is there a similar way to do this with an SSH connection?

Answer 1

while ssh doesn’t directly support what you are trying to do, it does have some tools that may be useful.

To get a directory of $HOME.

ssh <user>@<host> ls

To get a directory of /tmp.

ssh <user>@<host> "(cd /tmp; ls)"

To upload a file to your home directory

scp <filename> <user>@<host>:.

To upload a file to: /tmp/z.sh

scp <filename> <user>@<host>:/tmp/z.sh
