Transfer files by dragging them to and from the Finder. A free alternative to Fetch that may be used from OS X, Windows and Linux is is FileZilla. To install FileZilla in OS X: Download the FileZilla client for Mac OS X from here. Open the FileZilla installation file to unpack the application. OpenSSH is a free and open source SSH protocol with a major focus on encryption and data protection. Data, including passwords, transmitted using OpenSSH are encrypted with multiple protocols to ensure full security of the contents on your server. Other than SSH, OpenSSH can also be used for file transfer using commands like SCP and SFTP. As B Layer pointed out whenever, you are in a ssh tunnel your command/shell doesn't really know this. Basicly your command/shell works just like it wasn't in a tunnel (the beauty about ssh). That's also why tunnels inside tunnels work! Goodies gave the answer you were looking for I think. SCP is a very nice tool using ssh to copy files in both a pull and push way depending your situation.

Ssh To Transfer Files

The Secure File Transfer Protocol is a network protocol that provides secure file access, file transfer, and file management functionality. The following are procedures to use SFTP connection for FileZilla for Mac OS X.

A. Set up a secure file transfer connection

1. Start FileZilla (download it free from
   http://filezilla-project.org/download.php (Intel version))
   
2. Click File -> Site Manager.

   
   

3. In Site Manager Windows, click New Site button.

   
   

4. Type in the remote system you intend to connect to in the Host field.

   Depending on the remote system you intend to connect, the remote host server names are as follows:

   Remote Server	Purpose
   web.hku.hk	personal websites
   hpc2015-file.hku.hk	high performance computing cluster
   htcfile.hku.hk	high throughput computing service

   For example, if your personal website is http://web.hku.hk/~yourUID, then enter web.hku.hk in the Host field.

   If your department website is http://www.hku.hk/yourUID, then enter www.hku.hk in the Host field.
   

5. In Port field, type 22.
   
6. In the Server-Type drop-down menu, select SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol.

   
   

7. For Logon Type field, select Normal.
   
8. Type in your account name (HKU Portal UID) in the User field (you must have an account on the web host server).
   
9. Type in your account password (HKU Portal PIN) in the Password field.
   
10. In Site Manager windows, click on the Connect button.

    
    

11. You will see a pop-up window below. This is a feature of the SSH protocol. It is designed to protect you against a network attack known as 'spoofing' - secretly redirecting your connection to a different computer, so that they can get your password. Click OK to continue.

    
    

12. In the FileZilla window, the local system (your PC) appears on the left window and the remote system appears on the right window.

    
    

13. To upload a file, drag the file from the the left window to the right window.
    
14. To download a file, drag the file from the right windows to the left window.

D. Exit FileZilla

1. To end your session, click on the menu FileZilla on the top menu => Quit FileZilla.

How to transfer files using SCP, SFTP, Fuse and S3

Why use SSH/SCP/SFTP for file transfer?

SCP and SFTP both run over ssh and are thus encrypted. There are implementations available for all common operating systems including Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

Windows

• WinSCP
  
  • Host: login.hpc.caltech.edu
  • Enter your username and password.
• FileZilla

• pscp, psftp - part of the PUTTY tools

Linux

• Start Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
  
• To copy files from your computer to the central cluster
• Type scp local_filename username@login.hpc.caltech.edu:~/username/
• To copy files from to the central cluster to your computer
• Type scp username@login.hpc.caltech.edu:/home/username/remote_filename .

Mac OS X

• Start Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
  
• To copy files from your computer to the central cluster
• Type scp local_filename username@login.hpc.caltech.edu:~/username/
• To copy files from the central cluster to your computer
• Type scp username@login.hpc.caltech.edu:~/username/remote_filename

Ssh File Transfer Download

• Download and install FUSE and SSHFS here.
• Make a local mount directory on your Mac. mkdir ~/Desktop/HPC-Mount
• Run a command similar to the following, swapping out your username and directory name.
• sshfs -o allow_other,defer_permissions,auto_cache remote-username@login.hpc.caltech.edu:/home/remote-username ~/Desktop/HPC-Mount

• Cyberduck.
  
• Cyberduck can be made to work with 2 factor
• Click on 'Open Connection'
• choose 'SFTP'
• enter you username and password, then click connect
• In the 'Provide additional login credentials' box, enter 1 in the password field and hit enter if using the smartphone app.
• You should be prompted on you cell phone to allow the connection
• If using a yubikey, you can touch it when prompted to complete the login.
