15.6 Moving Backed- up Data

This section provides information about transferring the backed-up zips to the target appliance using WinSCP or other options. To transferring the backed-up zips to the target appliance using WinSCP, perform the following steps:

  1. Install WinSCP on Windows. To install the WinSCP:

    1. a) Download WinSCP from https://winscp.net/eng/download.php.

    2. b) Run the installer and follow the installation instructions.

  2. Set Up SSH Server on Linux (if not already installed). On your Linux machine, ensure that the SSH server is installed and running:

    ```bash sudo apt update sudo apt install openssh-server sudo systemctl enable ssh sudo systemctl start ssh ```

  3. Open WinSCP on your Windows machine.

  4. Configure Connection in WinSCP. In the WinSCP login window, enter the following details:

    • File protocol: SCP or SFTP

    • Host name: The IP address or hostname of your Linux machine

    • Port number: Default is 22

    • User name: The Linux username

    • Password: The Linux password

  5. Save the Session (Optional). You can save the session for future use by clicking the Save button and giving it a name.

  6. Connect to the Linux Machine by clicking the Login button. If you are connecting to this server for the first time, then you need to accept the host key. Once you connected to the Linux machine, a split window is displayed. The left side represents the local Windows machine, and the right side represents the remote Linux machine.

  7. Transfer the backed-up files by performing the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the directory containing your zip files on the left side (Windows).

    2. Navigate to the desired directory on the right side (Linux).

    3. Drag and drop the files from the left pane to the right pane to start the transfer.

  8. Monitor the Transfer: A transfer queue is displayed at the bottom, showing the file transfer progress.
