In this document, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to perform file transfer using SCP command in remote Terminal Proxy sessions.

Requirements

To transfer a file using SCP from a workstation to a destination server, two steps are required.

In the first step, the file is uploaded to senhasegura using the user's terminal proxy.
Second step, the user must connect to senhasegura Terminal Proxy to upload the same file to a destination server.
To use the scp command, use the syntax below, replacing the strings with:

String	Description
`file_name`	File to be transferred.
`senhasegura_vault`	Hostname or IP address of the senhasegura vault.
`senhasegura_user`	User of the senhasegura vault.
`file_destination`	Location where the file should be transferred.

Open the command prompt application of your preference.
Enter the following command line to upload a file to the senhasegura vault:
1. scp file_name senhasegura_user@senhasegura_vault:~
2. Type your password.
3. Press the Enter key to start.
Enter the following command to download a file from the senhasegura vault to the requestor's workstation:
1. scp senhasegura_user@senhasegura_vault:file_name file_destination
2. Type your password.
3. Press the Enter key to start.

Attention

The SCP syntax doesn’t support Multihop connection string, so these two steps become mandatory. Use SFTP transfer for a better experience.

The senhasegura Terminal Proxy also offers another type of file transfer via SFTP, to find out how to perform this, access the How to transfer a file in Terminal Proxy sessions using SFTP document.
