Replace [UserName] with your own Windows username. Each RSA fingerprint is added on a new line. This allows you to clear them easily by deleting an entire line at once if you ever need to remove an entry. Navigate to the location you specified in your SCP command and the file should be visible. SCP is the most direct way to transfer files from remote servers to local systems. This allows it to support the client Windows side connection requests.

If you don't already have an ssh server set up, the following steps should work on Debian systems Ubuntu, etc. Note that if you are running a firewall such as ufw, you may have to open port 22 to allow the connections. Using the pscp command, you can then move files from Windows to Linux or vice versa. The syntax is quite straightforward with its 'copy from to' commands.

The process can be made a little smoother and easier if 1 pscp is in your Windows search path and 2 your Linux system is in your Windows hosts file. If it is, you don't need to be concerned with where you are in the file system relative to the pscp executable.

Moving into the folder containing the files you want to move will likely prove easier. Here's the other little fix. With administrator rights, you can add your Linux system to the Windows host file C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts and then use the host name in place of its IP address. Keep in mind that this will not work indefinitely if the IP address on your Linux system is dynamically assigned. Comments are prefaced with pound signs. Keep in mind that lines in text files on Windows end with both a carriage return and a linefeed.
