Thanks. I eventually just used a windows client, as i couldn't get the get command to work for a whole directory. How can I do it the other way around?
I have one terminal logged into my website with ssh. I'm in the directory i want to upload to.
I have another terminal where i'm in the directory which comtains files and folders i want to transfer. how do I copy those files and folders to the directory in the first terminal?
Thanks.
