The new cloud server does not support upload and download with SecureCRT. The rz command was not found. Record how to install the rz/sz command.

1. Description of tools

In ssh login software like SecureCRT, upload/download files by typing the rz/sz command into the Linux interface. For some VERSIONS of linux, rz/sz is not installed by default and requires manual installation.

sz: Send the selected file (send) to the local machine;

rz: Running this command will bring up a file selection window to upload from the local selection file to the server (receive).

Download the installation package lrzsz - 0.12.20. tar. gz: http: / / www ohse. de uwe/software/lrzsz html

2. Software installation

First, upload the installation file to the tmp directory via the sftp tool.


# cd tmp
# wget http://www.ohse.de/uwe/releases/lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz
# tar zxvf lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz && cd lrzsz-0.12.20
# ./configure && make && make install

The above installation process installs lsz and lrz to /usr/local/bin/ directory by default. The following soft link is created and named rz/sz:


# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/lrz rz
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/lsz sz

# sz filename ( Send the file to the client ,zmodem The reception can start itself )
# rz ( Upload files from the client to linux The service side )

The rz command can also be uploaded using UI in SecureCRT.
