How to use the Windows app <psftp> to send files
-
Download the psftp app from
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
(most likely the 64-bit x86 version of psftp.exe),
and save in c:\windows\system32 (or other folder in your computer's path).
Only the one file psftp.exe is needed. This download needs to be done only once.
- Open Windows command prompt:
Using Windows Search
(spyglass
)
button on taskbar, search for cmd, and select Command Prompt
The following commands are entered in the (black) Command Prompt window:
- Change to the folder containing the files to be transferred, e.g., cd c:\pictures
- Connect to host computer: psftp home117533535.1and1-data.host
- Login using username u37476601-ftp and pw uploads
- For list of psftp commands, type help
- Change to one of the unused folders (a, b, c, ...) on host, e.g., cd a
- Transfer your files to host: mput *.jpg and/or mput *.mp4 or put filename
(* is the wild-card character that represents an arbitrary number of characters.)
- Quit your psftp session: quit
- Close your Command Prompt window.
- Notify me that files are there.
For pictures, full-resolution jpeg/jpg is preferred.
For videos, landscape is preferred.
