# How to transfer files via Terminal Proxy

You can transfer files between your workstation and remote devices through the **Segura™ Terminal Proxy**. This document guides you on how to perform these operations using the SFTP and SCP protocols.

## Requirements

- A file transfer client (SFTP or SCP) installed.
- User access to the **Segura™ Platform**.

Attention

Some tools automatically attempt to open an SFTP connection after SSH login. These automatic connections do not work, as **Segura™ Platform** handles terminal and file transfer sessions separately.

## Transfer via SFTP (Recommended)

The SFTP protocol is the recommended method, as it uses the Multi-hop connection to connect directly to the target device. For the SaaS environment, use port `-P 4022`.

Info

For direct transfers via SFTP, using the Multi-hop format is mandatory, as the protocol binaries do not interact with intermediate terminals.

### SFTP connection formats

**Standard connection with SaaS:**

`sftp -P 4022 segura_user%tenant_saas[credential@target_device{ssh.22}]@segura_instance`

**Connection with MFA (TOTP):**

`sftp -P 4022 segura_user%tenant_saas[credential@target_device{ssh.22}]mfa_token@segura_instance`

### Command parameters

| Item | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **segura_user** | User name to access the **Segura™ Platform**. |
| **segura_instance** | Access URL of your provided **Segura™** environment. |
| **tenant_saas** | Identifier name of your tenant (e.g.: `corporation_tenant`). |
| **credential** | User of the credential that will be used on the target device. |
| **target_device** | Hostname or IP address of the destination. |
| **mfa_token** | Six-digit code of your MFA Token. |

### Transfer commands

After establishing the SFTP connection, use the following commands at the prompt:

- **For upload:** Type `put [file_name]` and press `Enter`.
- **For download:** Type `get [file_name]` and press `Enter`.
- **To exit:** Type `exit` and press `Enter`.

## Transfer via SCP

The SCP command allows file transfer in two steps, as it does not support the Multi-hop connection chain. For the SaaS environment, use port `-P 4022`.

Attention

The SCP syntax does not support Multi-hop connections. You must perform the process in two steps: upload the file to **Segura™ Platform** and then send it to the destination. We recommend using SFTP for a more direct experience.

### SCP connection formats

**Perform upload (Workstation > Segura™ Terminal Proxy):**

`scp -P 4022 file_name segura_user%tenant_saas[credential@target_device{ssh.22}]@segura_instance:destination_path`

**Perform download (Segura™ Terminal Proxy > Workstation):**

`scp -P 4022 segura_user%tenant_saas[credential@target_device{ssh.22}]@segura_instance:file_path local_path`

## Command parameters

| Item | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **file_name** | File you want to transfer. |
| **file_path** | Location where the file is stored at the destination. |
| **destination_path** | Location where the file will be saved at the destination. |
