Question
How do I transfer a zipped file from a LAN-based drive to a Linux server? Once it's on the Linux box, how do I unzip it?

I am able to invoke SFTP on the Linux box. I need to build out an environment and the initial step is getting a zipped file from my U: (LAN drive) onto the Linux box. I have read a lot of the SFTP syntax, particularly the “getfile” info. However, I don’t see where it will let me point to a non-Linux source.
What would be the specific syntax that would allow me to tell the Linux box that I want to SFTP the file from the non-Linux source? Thx!!

Hi @ImSureofIT
You can use FileZilla to transfer files to your server via SFTP - it’s much easier, since it has a graphical interface.
When you’ve transferred the file to the server, then you can login via SSH and install
unzip.And then unzip the uploaded file, where
/path/to/directoryis where you’ve uploaded to.
