Network Need help with a .sh script

Hi. I'm trying to copy file from my pc to a vps server.
I thought about .sh script:
  1. ./copy.sh thing1 path/on/my/pc/something.jar
    It should upload something.jar from my pc to /home/meh1 /home/meh2 and /home/meh3 (these 3 paths are located on vps)
    .
  2. ./copy.sh thing2 path/on/my/pc/something.jar
    It should copy something.jar from my pc to /home/huh (only 1 path and located on vps)
    .
  3. ./copy.sh thing3 path/on/my/pc/something.jar
    It should copy something.jar from my pc to /home/pizza (only 1 path and located on vps)
_______
Thanks for advices Smilie

What shell does the VPS use? bash?
Assuming several things you did not mention, I am guessing the VPS disk is not mounted on your PC as some disk named like D:

You can probably use ftp to copy, you can also get puTTy, pscp for your PC free.
See: http://www.putty.org/

pscp is your best choice. It works like the cp command in UNIX or the copy command in windows. You run it on your PC.

So, what I am saying: you need other stuff on your PC to do what you want. You cannot run things on the VPS without FIRST allowing windows a way to talk to the VPS. This is by far the least complicated.

How about scp?

Code:
scp localfile username@host:/path/to/localfile

If that's not enough, you'll need to make your question more specific. Right now we've got nothing to go with.

Well as far as i know it would ask me for a password many times + i can't use it in .sh. Or am I wrong?

You can use it in sh, and there are ways to set up a key file in advance to prevent it asking for a password. Its the exact same problem - and protocol - as passwordless ssh.

SSH login without password

You can copy more than one file per scp, by the way.

Code:
scp file1 file2 file3 file4 username@host:/path/to/destination
