Considering that you already have archives in your server that you access using PuttY, right? You already know this. So now you download and open the winSPC and when it starts, you can log your server in there. After this you can access the folder and select download. It's pretty easy. If you still have question, search on google about the program, or download its handbook. For MobaXterm :. Dika Purnasucita Dika Purnasucita 6 6 bronze badges.

As you can see, you first need to confirm the connection using the RSA fingerprint of the remote server. Replace [UserName] with your own Windows username.

Each RSA fingerprint is added on a new line. This allows you to clear them easily by deleting an entire line at once if you ever need to remove an entry.
