open sftp://user:password@example.com
this sample is used all over the place... And I have tried searching all over the place... But WHAT does it mean ??? The individual parts, I mean ... My best wild guess sftp:// - use SFTP user - the user ID : - separate user ID and PW password - your password @example.com - the FTP site - more realistically - secureftp.mycompany.com ?, and the @ just means, well, AT ? |

Your interpretation is correct.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/session_url The example.com is a standard hostname reserved for examples.
See RFC 6761: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761#section-6.5 One cannot use mycompany.com as that belongs to someone.

Well, yes, that was my "example" rather than my real company name
And thank you for confirming my interpretation of the command line. John |

SIGH
OK, I got a secure connection, by my PUT seems to fail. Simple 2k text file SCP seems to see it as 1K, ok for that... Then sends 0.0KB/s 
And the file does not arrive Standalone client (Filezilla) with the same credentials seems to work Alt-Tab Is there a way to Register as a user in these forums? I don't see a "Register" link. Thanks |

OK
Success Even though the login credentials Logg me in to the destination folder required, adding the slash-folder /destfolder/ apparently was required, anyway. I have successfully transferred data from a command line using a script file. Thank you |
