Downloading a File from the Server

echo "get /var/www/html/d.zip /home/user/" | sftp root@a.sekor.eu.org

# directory:
echo "get -r /root/test" | sftp -r root@a.sekor.eu.org

This will download the file d.zip from the server directory /var/www/html/ to your local directory /home/user/.

Uploading a File to the Server

echo "put /home/user/d.zip /var/www/html/" | sftp root@a.sekor.eu.org

# directory:
echo "put -r  /home/modinfo/Desktop/test /root/" | sftp -r root@a.sekor.eu.org

This sends the d.zip file from your local computer directory /home/user/ to the /var/www/html/ directory on the server.
