The best way to copy files from Windows to Linux using the command line is through pscp. It is very easy and secure. For pscp to work on your windows machine, you need it add its executable to your systems path. Once it is done, you can use the following format to copy the file. ``` pscp -pw password D:\test.txt user@192.168.33.10:/etc/var/test/test.txt ``` You can refer the following blog post for more information on pscp setup. <http://comtechies.com/2016/02/copy-files-between-windows-and-linux.html> [Share](https://serverfault.com/a/759691 "Short permalink to this answer") Share a link to this answer Copy link [CC BY-SA 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ "The current license for this post: CC BY-SA 3.0") [Improve this answer](https://serverfault.com/posts/759691/edit) Follow Follow this answer to receive notifications [edited Feb 26, 2016 at 5:48](https://serverfault.com/posts/759691/revisions "show all edits to this post") answered Feb 25, 2016 at 10:13 [](https://serverfault.com/users/340465/bibin-wilson) [Bibin Wilson](https://serverfault.com/users/340465/bibin-wilson) 30122 silver badges55 bronze badges 2 - To improve your answer, I suggest you include some relevant quotes / summary in your answer ...

Get the path to the binary folder and add it to the system path. You can now run Linux commands on your command line. Open the command prompt and go to the directory where your file is that you want to copy. Run the following command; ``` scp file.txt root@1.1.1.1:/opt/ ``` - scp - secure copy command - file.txt - file you want to copy - root - username used to log onto CentOS machine - 1\.1.1.1 - IP address of CentOS machine. Needless to say your Windows machine and the CentOS machine have to be able to communicate with one another - :/opt - This is the directory with which you save the file to, I generally save everything to the /opt directory - Don't forget the @ between the username and IP Address and the : between the IP Address and directory you are saving the file to If you need a key to login into the server, enter the following; ``` scp key.pem file.txt root@1.1.1.1:/opt ``` For handiness sake I just copy the file I want to copy across to the key file directory, that way you know everything will run smoothly [Share](https://serverfault.com/a/583482 "Short permalink to this answer") Share a link to this answer Copy link [CC BY-SA 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ "The current license for this post: CC BY-SA 3.0") [Improve this answer](https://serverfault.com/posts/583482/edit) Follow Follow this answer to receive notifications answered Mar 20, 2014 at 17:15 [](https://serverfault.com/users/213453/dan) [Dan](https://serverfault.com/users/213453/dan) 19511 gold badge11 silver badge77 bronze badges [Add a comment](https://serverfault.com/questions/582048/scp-copy-windows-local-file-to-linux-remote-folder "Use comments to ask for more information or suggest improvements.
