Download a Folder

[kfperin]

Hello

I realized that my VPS does not allow me to download or upload any folders. Is there a way around this or some way that I can download a folder? Is there an SSH command that I can use to do this? Can I change the file type into something that I can download, and then change it back?

Any help would be much appreciated. I am trying to download a map folder and want to have it saved, if you can help me get it download, I would be very thankful.

Thanks,
Kfperin

You could use SFTP with SSH. The easiest way is to use Filezilla with an SFTP connection. The connection is made the same way as a regular FTP connection except with your SSH login details and server address/IP.

Okay, I downloaded Filezilla. When I enter the server IP (no port) and SSH logins, it has problems connecting. I left the port blank. All I did was download the client of filezilla and try to connect. Am I missing something or is this a problem that can be fixed?

Thanks,

Edit : Nevermind, figured it out. Had to change some settings. Thank you!

in filezilla you have to create a new connection, it may work if you enter port 22 but I normally save all my connections anyway so I haven't tested.

so steps would be:
1) click File > Site Manager
2) click New Site
3) enter the following details:
host: (your server IP or hostname)
port: 22
server type: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
login type: normal
user: your ssh username
password: ssh password

That should be all you need. If you save it you won't have to enter it again (lest you change the password)
