Using the Putty scp client on Windows with the HPCMP Kerberos kit

The Putty kit comes with command line scp and sftp clients.  By default these tools are installed in C:\Program Files\HPCMP\PuTTY with the HPCMP Kerberos kit.  (Standalone versions of Putty will undoubtedly install these files in another location, so these instructions will not be valid for those versions of Putty.) 

1. Open a Windows 'Command Prompt'.  On Windows XP this can be done by selecting Start | Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt or by selecting Start | Run and entering cmd in the Run dialog box.  
   
   
   
   
2. Switch to the directory which contains the files that you wish to upload using scp.  If the files were in the My Documents folder you would use the following.
   
   

   C:\Documents and Settings\default>cd "My Documents"

C:\Documents and Settings\default\My Documents>
   

3. Get  a ticket with krb5.  You can technically do this at any time prior to issuing the scp command.
   
   
   
   
4. Issue the scp command.  You will need to specify the full path to pscp.exe unless the Putty directory is in your PATH.  The following will copy all files .cpp files from My Documents to username's account on iceberg.
   

   C:\Documents and Settings\default\My Documents>"C:\Program Files\HPCMP\PuTTY\pscp.exe" *.cpp "username@iceberg.arsc.edu:/u1/uaf/username/"

   The scp client allows wildcarding and recursive copying, both of which can be quite useful.  Issuing the pscp command alone will list available options.
