It works fine with binary data. I'm doing this with tgz files all the time :)

| Sep 24, 2018 at 23:27 | comment | added | Florian F | @user7000 if the client (behind the firewall) can connect to the server via ssh it will work. I posted 2 examples, one in each direction... But if it's your home server you probably won't be running a constrained ssh setup without sftp support. So just use your favorite sftp client. Or even use something like nextcloud to take care of synchronization. That should also save you from your cd'ing pain. | |
| Apr 2, 2018 at 0:43 | comment | added | Sridhar Sarnobat | The reason I'm not upvoting this is because it won't work if the client machine is behind a shared router (like a corporate network). Supposed I'm on a work computer and I've ssh'd into my home server. How do I copy a file to my work computer having gone through the pains of cd'ing through complex directories with spaces and special characters? | |

no it's not a typo, - means stdin in that case

| May 15, 2017 at 16:37 | comment | added | Benjamin | Actually, this solution does not work in my case. With a tunnel created from Windows to Linux, you start in putty, not a terminal. This method is exactly what I wanted, but I can't use it. Annoyed. | |
| Apr 5, 2017 at 2:11 | comment | added | llekn | Yup... This is what the OP asked for, and what I was looking for when I was looking for the answer to this question. | |
| Jan 26, 2017 at 19:09 | comment | added | Peter | Agreed! This is, by far, the solution that fits most the OP's demands | |
| May 28, 2016 at 3:31 | comment | added | JL Peyret | Yeah! Might be very lo-tech, but it also works right away. And sometimes that's all you need, rather than advice about installing package xyz that does it better. | |

Brilliant! mc is the quickest to use.

| Jan 13, 2016 at 21:13 | comment | added | Auspex | Honestly, I don't understand why this isn't upvoted. OP asked for a solution without scp. Sometimes, particularly as in my case where I'm ssh'ing into a very crippled ISP-provided router, I don't have sftp, I don't have scp, and even ftp is badly broken. I knew I could do this, I just came here to make sure my syntax was right. | |
