To connect to a new site, select New Site node in the tree on the left. Then select protocol, enter host name and your user name. Typically you will also need to enter your password. For details see below.
I am trying to connect up to a WinSCP server using the WinSCP .NET assembly. The problem I am having is that it bombs checking the host key fingerprint. I have created a RSA key. My code is as follows:
Since WinSCP 5.16 actually allows using only the checksum as you did. Though it is not recommended to omit the key type prefix anyway. Without the prefix, WinSCP may agree with the server on another (better) host key type, than the one for which you have the checksum. And the verification will then obviously fail.
If you want to use WinSCP to upload files or folders on your hosting account you just need to navigate to the desired file or folder on the left side panel, right-click on the item you want to upload, and click Upload > Upload.
It is very easy to also download data from your hosting account to your machine. Navigate to the location of the file or folder you want to download from the right side panel, right-click the desired item and select Download > Download.
Received too large (1936094320 B) SFTP packet. Max supported packet size is 1024000 B. The error is typically caused by message printed from startup script (like .profile). This message may start with "sftp". Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
The reason why it works in other environments is most probably that the host key is cached in Windows registry of the account that you use for the tests. So the value from the script is not even considered. While the account that runs your Task Scheduler job does not have the key cached.
WinSCP is a free FTP program you can use to manage your files on your hosting account. WinSCP gives you the ability to upload, download, and modify files on the server. This guide will show you how to Connect Using FTP and WinSCP.
Here's an example that is specific and fully specified, assuming the directory on your local host containing the files to be distributed is sourcedir, and that the remote target's hostname is hostname:
The only drawback is that read will accept input before sudo has time to send back it's prompt. On a fast connection and fast remote host you won't notice this but you might if either is slow. Any delay will not affect the ability to enter the prompt; it just might appear after you have started typing.
I assume you have one (or more) Ubuntu Linux virtual guests installed as per my instructions for setting up a virtual network. Of particular importance, Port Forwarding has been enabled in VirtualBox (see towards bottom of step 4), forwarding a host port (e.g. 2201) to the guest port 22. This means that when an application on the host connects to port 2201 (and destination address localhost or 127.0.0.1), VirtualBox will forward the original application traffic to port 22 on the corresponding guest. Recall port 22 is for a SSH server (which should already be installed on each virtual machine as "OpenSSH server" was selecting during the install).
Now connect using the SSH client to localhost and port 2201 (or whichever you choose in Port Forwarding). On the command line that is performed using the -p option. The -l option may also be used to specific the username for the guest login:
In Linux and OSX you can use scp in the Terminal to copies files to/from the guest. PuTTY in Windows also supports command line based file copying with pscp. Another alternative is to use WinSCP to copy files in Windows. However it would be nicer to be able to view and copy files using the standard file explorer on the host. The following describes how to do this in Ubuntu Linux using the standard file explorer called Nautilus (it should be similar with other Linux distributions and file explorers). The alternative techniques - scp, pscp and WinSCP - are described later.
If you can't or don't want to use the file explorer in your host to copy files, then you can use the command line. On most Linux/Unix systems (including OSX), scp can be used in a terminal on the host. The general format is to specified the source and destination, where one of them (depending which direction you are copying) includes the remote address.
To copy a file example.txt in your current directory on the host to the guest use the following. Note that you indicate the port using the -P option and the guest username is given before the @ character.
The default setup of the virtual network uses only terminal access on the guests. There is no GUI or window manager on the guests. That makes using a web browser on a guest difficult: you are restricted to a terminal based text browser like Lynx. If you want to run a full web browser, like Firefox, on a guest then a full desktop environment needs to be installed on that guest. This takes up a lot of disk space and may also require more RAM for the guest. An alternative is to use the web browser on your host to access the web servers on your guests. It involves SOCKS tunnelling. Lets go straight into how to do it, with an explanation of how it works later.
Now in your web browser preferences/settings, you need to enable proxying specifically using SOCKS. In Ubuntu Firefox, go to Edit menu and select Preferences. From the Advanced icon select the Network tab and press the Settings button. This lets you to set a proxy. Choose Manual proxy configuration and set the SOCKS Host to localhost and the Port to 3333 (or whatever you selected when starting ssh with the -ND option). It should look similar to the following:
Now your host web browser will connect to the SSH client on the host, which in turn is connected to the SSH server on the guest. All of your host web browser traffic will go via the guest. In your web browser address bar, type in the IP address of the guest, e.g. 192.168.1.1. You should see the web page offered by that guests web server.
This should work with most host operating systems and browsers, so long as the browser supports SOCKS proxies. If using Windows, since ssh is not available on the command line, you need to use PuTTY. Some instructions on using PuTTY for the SOCKS tunnelling are here.
It's a bit of a kludge to have to go via a third host (i.e. a Linux box running SCP server) but once you have it setup it works perfectly fine. You can use this process in either direction - to either get files from or put files onto the FMC. Here is a SCP file copy from the EVE-NG server to FMC:
There are SFTP receive location sessions that occur between Microsoft BizTalk Server, WinSCP, and SFTP server. While these sessions are active, you may notice that the shared temporary files get larger and are never released or deleted.
Note The shared temporary files are located in the BizTalk host service account temp folder.
Temporary files may remain locked when connection pooling is used. The temporary files contain directory listings and SFTP server operations. They can grow large quickly if there are many files that are listed in the polled SFTP receive location folder. Additionally, if the host eventually restarts or crashes, these files may become orphaned.
You should be presented with a login prompt when you start WinSCP. Here, you may fill in information about the host and port you want to connect to, as well as your username and password. Then press "login". If WinSCP asks you whether you are sure that you want to connect, then accept. If everything works out as intended, you should be presented with a split window, one half showing your local home directory, the other half showing your remote home directory (on the host you just connected to).
Sometimes you want to connect to the same host more than once. For this purpose, it is possible to store a session, which may then be used without the necessity of filling in information every time you want to create a connection. Simply select "save" in the bottom of the initial window after you have filled out the necessary information, instead of "login". The stored session will then be available from the "stored sessions" list on the left side of the program window.
Secure copy protocol (SCP) is a means of securely transferring computer files between a local host and a remote host or between two remote hosts. It is based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.[1] "SCP" commonly refers to both the Secure Copy Protocol and the program itself.[2]
The SCP is a network protocol, based on the BSD RCP protocol,[5] which supports file transfers between hosts on a network. SCP uses Secure Shell (SSH) for data transfer and uses the same mechanisms for authentication, thereby ensuring the authenticity and confidentiality of the data in transit. A client can send (upload) files to a server, optionally including their basic attributes (permissions, timestamps). Clients can also request files or directories from a server (download). SCP runs over TCP port 22 by default.[6] Like RCP, there is no RFC that defines the specifics of the protocol.
In the past, in remote-to-remote secure copy, the SCP client opens an SSH connection to the source host and requests that it, in turn, open an SCP connection to the destination. (Remote-to-remote mode did not support opening two SCP connections and using the originating client as an intermediary). It is important to note that SCP cannot be used to remotely copy from the source to the destination when operating in password or keyboard-interactive authentication mode, as this would reveal the destination server's authentication credentials to the source. It is, however, possible with key-based or GSSAPI methods that do not require user input.[2]
To transfer files with SCP, specify the remote server's IP address or hostname and the destination path where you want it to copy the file or directory. Use the same username and credentials for SCP as you use for SSH. No other credentials are needed. If the file already exists at the destination, SCP replaces or overwrites the content. It's also wise to use absolute path names for the destination path.
