SSH forwarding to MacBook

**Lauren Ambrose** · 26-04-2010

Hello,
I log into SSH on a remote server from my macbook. I would then transfer a file on my macbook, then using the command "scp". By cons for the name of the remote machine what do I use my IP address? It does not work, is there something to configure on Mac OS X? If you know then please help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Is this what you are trying to do?

Code:

scp SourceFile use@host:directory/TargetFile

while logged on the machine's source file and copying therefore host. If you activate the option remote session on your computer means that you authorized the outside to connect to your machine, not really what you want if I understand correctly.

Hello,
Even i am trying to forward ssh macbook. I thought that this activation was necessary to send a file from the outside via SSH. I tried what you said:
Here is what I have tried.

Code:

scp test.c monlogin @ tstIP: Desktop / test.c

with tstIP obtained through utrace, but still nothing (it is blocked then says connection lost). I managed to do what I wanted with Cyberduck, but I will like to do Terminal.

Hello,
Can you try the other way:

Code:

scp server: file local_file

This avoids having to enable ssh access on your machine. In your case since the command line in your MacBook:

Code:

scp testlogin @ server_name: file / test.c test.c

In case of failure using the-v (verbose output) and copy / paste the output so we can help.

Hello,
Typically, an SSH server also serves as SFTP server. Connect with CyberDuck on the server, and you should be able to repatriate your file. If you must use the scp command with the terminal, the IP address is the server in question. I guess you have done some home work regarding the topic or more precisely the options used the int he ssh protocol.

Hello,
You can try playing with ssh tunnels
ssh-L2222: second_server: 22 @ user_premier_server premier_server
keep the connection open
then to test

Code:

ssh-p 2222 @ localhost user_second_server you to connect
scp-P 2222 user_second_server @ localhost: folder / file file for transfer

If you use a regular file transfer it is possible to automate the first connection to create the tunnel (you have to use a script and launch to do some kind of demon)
