4.3.1 Using a Graphical SCP Utility

To transfer files to the kit, perform the following steps:

  1. Launch the transfer manager of your choice (in this case, WinSCP is used) and connect to the kit. In this case, the SCP protocol is used.
    Figure 4-5. Launch Transfer Manager

    Once connected, you have the access to the home folder of the ubuntu user (that is, /home/ubuntu) – files can be transferred to any directory.

  2. Drag the file to the desired directory—verify the transfer using the ls command.

  3. SCP commands can also be run from terminal/command line, for example:
    scp .\Microchip_logo.svg.png ubuntu@10.145.200.55:/home/ubuntu/test
