Remote Access Linux

Transfer files between Mac and Emory server: `sftp`

How to use sftp

Open a command window on your Mac
Cd (change directory) to your project directory on your Mac

Then execute the command:

sftp yourEmoryNetID@lab0z.mathcs.emory.edu

on your Mac

Login with your Emory password.
You will see this prompt:
```
sftp>
```

Inside the sftp program, type these commands:

sftp> cd  folderName     (e.g.:  cd  cs255/hw2)

Note: if the folderName starts with a ~ (i.e.: ~/folderName),
      then you need to replace ~ with /home/yourNetID.

E.g.: If I (cheung) want to change directory to ~/graded-work/MT, I use:    
      cd /home/cheung/cs255/graded-work/MT

Then:

use the get command to transfer a file from Emoryto your Mac
```
sftp> get  fileNameOnEmory
```
use the put command to transfer a file from your Macto Emory
```
sftp> put  fileNameOnYourMac
```

The file transfered will reside in the directory when you CD-ed into (on the Mac and on Emory)

Warning:

The Mac has the nasty habit of renaming a transfered file

So you may find your transfered file has a .txt suffix aftertransfering it to your Mac

You need to rename the file back to its original name....
