One file at a time, between the SD card and a server you can log in to over SSH.
-
Connect to the server once in the SSH App (SSH → New connection,
user@host) and trust its fingerprint.scpcan't ask that question, so it only goes to servers it has met there. -
For no password to type, put the device's key on the server: Log in to a server without a password. Without it,
scpasks for the password. -
Open the Shell and type, for a file going to the server:
scp /notes/a.txt user@host:docs/a.txtor one coming from it, into a folder on the card (it keeps its name):
scp user@host:/var/log/syslog /logs/You should see
scp: ... (1234 bytes) to ..., thenscp: sent 1234 bytes in 310 ms(orreceived). -
If it says
password for host, type it and press Enter: it shows as stars and is kept nowhere. Back cancels.
If it doesn't work
| It says | Do |

Step 1: connect once in the SSH App |
showed a different key than the one remembered |
The server was reinstalled, or something answers in its place. Check in the SSH App, which asks what to do |
exists already |
The file is on the card: add -f (scp -f user@host:x /notes/x) to replace it |
An SSH session is open or Not enough memory |
End the session (ssh stop), or close IRC or a Gemini page: not enough memory |
not logged in, wrong password |
Three tries, then it stops. Check the user, or the key on the server |
a password is only asked in the Shell |
You typed it from a PC on the USB port or the Debug Console: use the Shell, or put the key on the server |
that isn't a plain file |
scp copies one file, not a folder |
Another port goes first: scp -P 2222 /notes/a.txt user@host:a.txt. cancel stops a copy that is running.
