PSCP is a freeware SCP (Secure CoPy) program for the Windows command line processor. You can use this program instead of FTP for copying files to or from the Unix/Linux servers . FTP is not allowed from clients outside to servers inside the firewall because FTP leaves passwords in plain-text and vulnerable to eavesdropping. PSCP should work with any host supporting SSH .

- Download PSCP here.
- Save pscp.exe somewhere on your hard drive. C:\windows\ is a good location in the default execution path.
- The command line syntax is:
- pscp [options] [user@]host:source target
- pscp [options] source [source...] [user@]host:target
Options:
-p preserve file attributes
-q quiet, don't show statistics
-r copy directories recursively
-v show verbose messages
-P port connect to specified port
-pw passw login with specified password
source or target may be a pathname or a ~userid/filename (on the Unix side). You will be prompted for the password of `user'. This is an old-fashioned command line program - you need to open a DOS window to run it.
- In order to copy a file from your UNIX host to your Windows PC your command line would look like this:
- pscp username@yourhost:file.foo c:\temp\file.foo
- This command line copies "file.foo" located in your home directory on your UNIX host to the temp directory on your C:\ drive.
- In order to copy a file from your Windows PC to your our Unix host your command line would look like this:
- pscp -v c:\"my documents"\file.foo username@nber.org:file.foo
- This command line copies "file.foo" located in the "my documents" directory on your C:\ drive to your home directory on our Unix cluster.
- Remember: Backslashes (\) for your DOS and Windows files and forward slashes (/) for your UNIX files.
