moving files through SFTP
SFTP is the brother of SSH, it transfers your files securely through an FTP port. One computer is client and another one server. To use SFTP on a linux system simply just type:
$ sftp username@ipaddress
for example, it would look like this: $ sftp johnsmith@127.0.0.1
Then just press enter and enter the remote password and log in. you can find some of the useful SFTP commands here.
If you are trying to connect to a windows server ( SFTP to/from a windows system ) you should first setup openssh on your system. The guide on how to setup openssh on a windows machine is in the previous post ( see the P.S. section of the previous post ). After setting that up, everything will be the same: $ sftp username@ipaddress and done!
leave comments if you were successful in SFTPing to your machines!

Some useful terminal programs
Lynx:
Lynx is a console web browser. Very simple and easy to use, just press and type a URL to go to that URL. press d to download the target. But the downfall is that it doesn’t show images ( because it’s console-based ) and therefore some websites ( e.g. facebook ) do not support it.
An email client. Yes, that’s right, a console-based email client. You can setup IMAP and POP access to your favorite mail service provider.
SSH:
With SSH service you can connect remotely to other SSH-enabled computers ( e.g. linux system ) very securely. In terminal, just type: ‘$ ssh -l login host’ while ‘login’ is the remote login/username and ‘host’ is the IP address or host computer address.
