I want to upload a folder (including subfolders and files) to a remote machine.

I can connect with putty via SSH.

How can I upload my folder? What is the easiest way to do so?

EDIT: How about a tool for Linux?

Winscp - It has a two pane interface, and works fairly simply. Just remember to pick scp as your protocol.

If you have SSH, you also have SCP (Secure CoPy)

It is a fantastic tool for copying files. Its a very simple syntax as well.

If your not CLI inclined, Putty also has a tool called PSCP.

  • +1, although PuTTY's PSCP is a command line utility.

For Linux, you can use the scp command line tool which connects via the same interface as ssh. To send the entire local directory foo including sub directories, use a commandline like

scp -r localfolder username@remoteserver:

This would upload localfolder to your home directory on remoteserver
