While SCP and SFTP are available out of the box on Linux and Mac systems, ITS also offers downloads of Fetch (login required) for MacOS and WS_FTP (login required) for Windows from the Software Download site. In addition, SecureCRT also has SFTP capability. Below are some basic examples showing syntax for both tools. Note that while the examples are specific to Helium, they are broadly applicable and will thus work for Neon as well, and both commands have extensive man pages available.

Info

This process is more involved in that one must create the directory remotely first and then transfer the contents from one to the other – wildcards are helpful for this.
