How to use SCP to upload to Dropbox, Box and other cloud storage

Couchdrop is a cloud SCP server, which means files are uploaded using the SCP tool packaged with openssh on virtually any unix derivative. 

Before starting, you need a Couchdrop account and a linked cloud storage provider. This can be created by visiting https://my.couchdrop.io. 

Uploading

Generally uploading a file is a one liner:

The syntax for uploading with Couchdrop is the same as any other scp server. Without adding public keys or creating additional user accounts you can use your default username and password.

bash# scp filename username@scp.couchdrop.io:

If you have not used couchdrop before you will need to accept our public keys. 

 Note If you are using alternatively named RSA keys then use the following command

bash# scp -i link-to-private-key filename username@scp.couchdrop.io:
