File Transfer via SCP

To transfer a file from a workstation to a destination server, follow these two steps:

  2. Connect to Segura Terminal Proxy and upload the same file to the destination device.

senhasegura_vault Hostname or IP address of the Segura PAM.
senhasegura_user Credential of the Segura PAM.

credential Credential username.
device Hostname or IP address from the device.

Transfer file to your Segura home directory

  1. Open your preferred SCP tool.
  2. Enter the following command to upload a file to the Segura termial. Use ~ to transfer the file to your home directory in Segura:
    scp file_name senhasegura_user@senhasegura_vault:~

Transfer file from Segura Home directory to a device

  1. Log into Segura Terminal Proxy using an SSH tool:

    2. Type your password

Attention

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

The Segura Terminal Proxy also supports file transfers via SFTP. For more information, refer to the How to transfer a file in Terminal Proxy sessions using SFTP document.
