====== Transferring files via SFTP ======
===== Linux =====
==== Using TMSS10SFTP ====
The ''TMSS10SFTP'' program is installed by default with the TapeTrack Command Line Programs for Linux.
This program provides more automation that the native ''sftp'' command and is able to automatically select the newest file in a directory.
This comes in handy when downloading files from Iron Mountain as they only provide time-stamped files requiring the user to know the name of the file to be downloaded in advance.
Documentation for ''TMSS10SFTP'' can be found [[cli:tmss10sftp|here]].
==== Using sshpass and sftp ====
The Linux ''sftp'' command does not provide an argument to specify a password. If you do not want to configure keys for the transfer, you can install the ''sshpass'' program.
[root@corp-01 ~]# yum install sshpass

Once ''sshpass'' is installed, you can call ''sshpass'', pass the password and then pass the ''sftp'' command string as an argument.
To specify multiple command strings you can either pass a file fill of commands, or you can use the bash here-string syntax.
[root@corp-01 ~]# sshpass -p "password" sftp user@server.tapetrack.com <<< "put drm.csv upload/drm.csv"
Connected to server.tapetrack.com.
sftp> put drm.csv upload/drm.csv
===== Windows =====
Windows users wanting to send files via SFTP can use the ''TMSS10SFTP'' command (installed as part of the TapeTrack Server Utilities package), or a third-party program such as [[https://winscp.net | WinSCP]].
