Using Sudo in Windows SFTP to switch user?


I am trying to upload files on my server using the PuTTY SFTP command shell. My teammates have been using the Mac and Linux is our server, so they have predefined commands.

I am working on Windows and need to do the following (these are ssh commands on Mac for SFTP) :

# Copy from my laptop to my home directory  /home/username
# Change the permissions on your folder:  
chmod 777 /home/username # this is giving issues

# Change to the "ABC" user: 
sudo su gcnweb # this is not working in windows

cd /path../  # Go to the deployment directories //no issues here

cp /path of the director/ # Copy the files from your home dir to the deployment dir //no issues here

Please check above and if anyone can help me in workaround to the same in Windows using PuTTY SFTP.


Solution

  • These are shell commands. It has nothing to with an SFTP.

    You can execute the exactly same commands, if you use a Windows SSH client. Like PuTTY itself (putty.exe).
