Transfer files over SSH on Ubuntu

If you are looking for a GUI tool to transfer files to your Raspberry Pi, iphone, SSH account (remember them?) or another box, have a look at FileZilla.

It supports FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). To be honest I only use SFTP -I don't have to install and set up an FTP so long as SSH is available. Just make sure to port to 22. It's so easy! Raspberry Pi owners should definitely have a look.

You can install it on debian/ubuntu/mint via the filezilla package.

# sudo apt-get install filezilla

Checkout filezilla-project.org. There is even a server.
