How to copy files from one server to another using SFTP
Hello experts,
I'm trying to transfer files from one linux server to another (both remote).
Using WinSCP, I've logged into both servers thru' SFTP but I'm not sure how to copy files. Should I have to write copy commands in the console window or is there's a provision to drag and drop files?
Is there any other program that would support this requirement? (Drag and drop files using SFTP)
Any comments would be appreciated.. Thanks

Thanks ibrahim. I guess I wasn't clear. My bad.
I'm currently using Windows 7 Prof. I'm trying to copy files between 2 remote Linux servers. So I'm looking for a Windows program to perform this task.

I think you can drag and drop between the two windows.
I have winscp and I logged in to two different servers and dragged and dropped files & dir

Thanks omar. That's good to know. I'm using WinSCP 4.3.7 (Build 1679)
I'd appreciate if you could please let me know how to have the 2 servers side by side.
As of now, I log into one of the servers when I start WinSCP. And I log into the second server by going to Session --> Saved Session and choosing the second server.
Under the 'Session' drop down at the top, I can see both the servers. I can choose either one here but I'm not sure how to have them side-by-side to drag and drop.
Right now, I can only drag and drop between one of those servers and my local PC.
I feel I'm wrong somewhere. I'd appreciate your help.. Thanks again.

To tell you the truth, I have winscp on my hard disk and I run it two times and logged in to the two servers then I dragged and dropped the files and directories.

Thanks again, Omar.
So you mean you copy the files from the first instance of WinSCP to the second instance?
It doesn't work for me that way : (

When dragging, as soon as I cross my local PC area to the second window of WinSCP, the copy icon changes to 0 (blocked) icon..
Have you logged into both the servers using SFTP?

I tried but it didn't help.
I just tried SFTPing on FlashFXP. Files transfer @ 250 KB/s. I understand SFTP isn't fast but this is unbelievably slow.
I guess I'll just try rsync instead. :(
