I am using putty to get SSH access to my server. What I need to do is create a backup of a directory on my server and then get that file on my computer somehow. I do not have FTP access and don't know how to set this up. I do have HTTP on the server but i get a 403 forbidden error when I try to access the file via my browser. I need help ASAP. If you can help I may be able to reward you. Name your price if you can't do it for free or want some incentive The faster the better. If you can get on AIM or MSN right now please get a hold of me. My aim is bikerjeg and MSN is bikerjeg -at- sbcglobal.net Thanks in advance
yep, sftp would be your best bet... What OS are you using and are you using root or did you create another user ? The problem could be you are using root, which is not available via browser (regular http). If you need anymore help, just PM me with all your systems details and I can help out
If you dont know sftp. Use the SSH Secure Shell software available for free to use and download for personal use from ssh.com ftp://ssh.com
