Midnight Commander remote connect via Shell link (copy files over SSH) and SFTP link using FISH and public key authentication

In this post, I show you how to configure SSH for Midnight Commander to remotely copy or move files with the file manager’s Shell link feature and public key authentication. I will also explain the difference between files transferred over Shell Protocol (FISH) and Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) and say a word or two about Midnight Commander’s SFTP feature.

Link: Remotely copy files to and from your Raspberry Pi

Most of the time I remotely log into my Raspberry Pi. Depending on what I am doing I will either SSH into it or VNC into it, which allows me to do almost whatever I would like to.

I say almost as there is a caveat.

What happens when I want to transfer a file to or from the Raspberry Pi?

I have to find a memory stick, plug it into my computer, copy the files onto it, unplug it, plug it into my Raspberry Pi, go back to my computer, copy the files over…

Then if I happen to modify a file and want to transfer it back I go through the whole process again.

What an absolute pain!

There must be a better way… Well you will be pleased to know there is!
