The most common '''mistake''' that students make is forgetting to add<br>the '''colon''' character ":" <u>after</u> the remote hostname.
The user name in the command can be '''omitted''' if it's the same as on the <u>local</u> host.<br>Multiple file and recursive directory copy (i.e. option '''-Rr''') is supported.

<span style="color:red;">'''ATTENTION''': Effective '''May 9, 2022''' - this This online tutorial will be required to be completed by '''Friday in week 8 by midnight'''<br>to obtain a grade of '''2%''' towards this course</span><br><br>
[[Image:cmd.png|thumb|right|350px|Make certain to '''open a command-line terminal''' and<br><u>'''NOT'''</u> a graphic SSH application for this tutorial!.]]
# Issue the <span style="font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">lls</span> ''sftp command'' to confirm that you transferred the file '''thefile.txt''' to your local computer.<br><br>
# Issue the following ''sftp command'' to exit the sftp utlilty: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">exit</span><br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command to remotely run a checking script to ensure you created the correct directories<br>and properly transferred those created files: <br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ssh yoursenecaid@matrix.senecacollege.ca ~uli101/week6-check-3</span><br><br>
# If you encounter errors, make corrections and then re-run the checking script until you receive a congratulations message.<br><br>'''FYI:''' To run a checking program to check if you created the '''local''' and '''local2''' directories in MS Windows would require<br>running a local-based script (like '''PowerShell'''). Since this is a Unix/Linux based course, we don't have a PowerShell script,<br>so we will ignore checking for files transferred to your local computer.<br><br>
<!-- OLDER CONTENT
:Although it is important to learn how to use '''command-line sftp''' which is considered coverage for quizzes, midterm and final exam, there are '''graphical sftp applications''' available that are considered "user-friendly". The next investigation will show you how to transfer files between your local computer and your Matrix server graphically (assuming your local computer is running MS Windows).
<br>
# When prompted, enter your password.<br><br>
# If you encounter errors, make corrections and then re-run the checking script until you receive a congratulations message.<br><br>

:In the next investigation, you will learn an alternative way to transfer a file to another computer server<br>by sending an '''e-mail message with an attached file'''.

Your instructor may take-up these questions during class. It is up to the student to attend classes in order to obtain the answers to the following questions. Your instructor will NOT provide these answers in any other form (eg. e-mail, etc).
# Write a Linux command to send the attached file '''message.txt''' to the email address '''murray.saul@senecacollege.ca''' with the subject line: '''Important Message'''
# Create a '''table''' listing each Linux command, useful options and command purpose for the following Linux commands: '''scp''' , '''sftp''' , '''mail'''.
# Create a '''table''' listing each '''sftp command'''and it's purpose. _________________________________________________________________________________ Author: Murray Saul License: LGPL version 3Link: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html _________________________________________________________________________________
