Download log file from putty

Logging incoming serial data using PuTTY. When you have problems getting a device over the serial port to work, or in cases where you want your own plugin to be developed by us, our support desk will sometimes ask to log some data from your serial port. This document is created to show you step by step instructions on how to accomplish this.  · I use PuTTY to connect to my Unix and Linux boxes and want to find a way to transfer text files from my Linux box to my Windows PC. To do it now, I transfer the file to the Unix box, then get on my PC cmd and ftp from the Unix box. A pain. I figure there has to be a better way. PuTTY is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. It can also connect to a serial port. This is an inofficial portation of PuTTY for the Windows Store.

Imagine the following situation: I do not have direct SSH access to Server-A due to IP filtering restrictions. To access the server (from windows using putty), I first connect to Server-B, which has a white listed IP address, and from there SSH into Server-C, and then SSH from there to Server-A (I know that sounds insane, but unfortunately I do not have rights to change the IP filtering. To create a new Service_Data file via SSH: Open a SSH tool (like PuTTy) and connect to Unity management IP. Log in as the service user (i.e. username: service). Run the command: svc_dc. Wait for the Service Data collection to complete, which can take over of 15 minutes. The SSH session can then be closed. If you are connected to vCenter Server, select Include information from vCenter Server and vSphere UI logs to download vCenter Server and vSphere Client log files and host log files, and click Next.; If the selected host supports manifest driven exports of system log files, select the system log files to collect.

The path to the file on the remote server; The path to the download location; You should already have the login credentials when you connect to the server using PuTTY, or some other tool, so we won’t go into it here. As for the port number, you’ll need to know which SSH server port your VPS listens to. There's a default log location that should work unless you have changed where your logs are saved. Open PuTTY. Double-click the PuTTY icon on your Desktop to open it or search. PuTTY should come with scp client pscp. You can use it from command line: pscp user@host:source target. Where user and host refer to the server you are connecting to. Source is the path to the file on server, and target is path to where you want to save the file on your client. If you are using Linux client, your system possibly already has scp.
