However, I can imagine that embedded might not have the sftp service or the scp executable. If that's your case, you can always do: # cat file | ssh remote 'cat > destinaton' i.e. pipe the file through a simple SSH invocation of "cat" on the remote system. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / reidac(a)bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Someone else may have already suggested this, but something like: # cat file.tgz | ssh remote 'cat > dest.tgz' (or scp, if available) # ssh remote 'tar -xf dest.tgz' # ssh remote 'sh dest/installer' (or whatever) # ssh remote 'cat dest/install-log' > remote-install-log (or whatever) This way, you still only have the one shell, and/but you pay the price in having to prefix all the remote operations with "ssh remote". However, you could script this on the local system (which is, I think, why you want a single session, right, so you can script it?), and then the extra typing doesn't really cost you much. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / reidac(a)bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What _does_ work like that in SSH? Dotan, You are getting many responses, so perhaps this idea has already been rejected, however --- I use ssh AND sshfs. I get shell access to the remote machine with ssh and for file access I mount the portion of the remote fs that a want on a local mount point. I know there are a lot of machinations going on under the covers, but it does work. Put the mount point in your home directory. If you can ssh to root on the remote, you can also get root access to the remote file system. It works for me. -- Paul E Condon pecondon(a)mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

First of all, I believe the ssh protocol (not necessarily the ssh program) already support exactly what you want: logging in and, if you want, sending files through the already opened tunnel. PuTTY does exactly that. If you are logged in, you can press a button to open a (local) file browser for the remote files. Without new password entering. So I guess it uses the same tunnel. So here's your first solution: use putty. It exists for Linux also. Second solution: if the ssh protocol supports what you want but the ssh program does not, then complain to whoever maintains ssh (program) to include that option. For example, a hotkey to switch it into sftp mode in the already open connection. More solutions (sshfs, or just giving up and typing several commands) have already been posted here. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkum91QACgkQ+VSRxYk440+4pQCgtPJZ02AUmIcZ7cEN/kUL1BHe V64AnRtd2VkXPx4N3XDKLM2U2T5PogI4 =7xt3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
