<![CDATA[How to transfer files on Onion?]]>Hi,

I am struggling to find a way to transfer files from my PC to the Onion.

What is the recommended/easiest way?

My preferred options would be:

  • Windows shared network folder
  • (S)FTP - but I can find no client nor server for the Onion

Thanks in advance!

I use WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php)
Set up a connection in WinSCP, so:

  • File Protocol: SCP
  • Host Name: the IP address of your Omega - this is normally 192.168.3.1 - or at least it is for mine - you will need to check this
  • User Name: root
  • Password: onioneer - unless you have changed it from the default

Good luck

Actually I will also transfer files from the Kubuntu VM where I cross-compile. Your answer also made find the "scp" command which works pretty fine as well from Linux.

For xfering files you can drag them from the window of your desktop to the folder/dir of your choice on the Omega within MobaXterm.
