Copying files from laptop to remote server using SSH
Hello,
I'm sorry if this sounds like a very simple question, but I'm having some difficulty with it being a complete newbie to UNIx. I use Windows, and always have, but need some UNIX access for work, picking up files from our group space, etc.
Basically, I'm using Cygwin and can SSH into the server using my username and password, and can see the files on there. what I'm not sure of is how to copy files from outside the server, i.e from my laptop.
On windows you would simply do something like copy:
12.34.56.78/C/Docs/myfile.txt to 87.65.43.21/myfile.txt.
But with UNIx, and by proxy cygwin, using the whole idea of a home directory, I'm really not sure how the command would be written, or how the directories would work. Also, how do I write a location that is outside the server when in the server directory structure?
I hope this makes sense, and any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Hussein.

plink(1) PuTTY tool suite plink(1)
NAME
plink - PuTTY link, command line network connection tool
SYNOPSIS
plink [options] [user@]host [command]
DESCRIPTION
plink is a network connection tool supporting several protocols.
OPTIONS
The command-line options supported by plink are:
-V Show version information and exit.
-pgpfp Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit, to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
-v Show verbose messages.
-load session
Load settings from saved session.
-ssh Force use of SSH protocol (default).
-telnet
Force use of Telnet protocol.
-rlogin
Force use of rlogin protocol.
-raw Force raw mode.
-serial
Force serial mode.
-P port
Connect to port port.
-l user
Set remote username to user.
-m path
Read remote command(s) from local file path.
-batch Disable interactive prompts.
-pw password
Set remote password to password. CAUTION: this will likely make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via com-
mands such as `w').
-L [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
Set up a local port forwarding: listen on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and forward any connections over the SSH con-
nection to the destination address desthost:destport. Only works in SSH.
-R [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and to forward any con-
nections back over the SSH connection where the client will pass them on to the destination address desthost:destport. Only works in
SSH.
-D [srcaddr:]srcport
Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and implements a SOCKS server. So
you can point SOCKS-aware applications at this port and they will automatically use the SSH connection to tunnel all their connec-
tions. Only works in SSH.
-X Enable X11 forwarding.
-x Disable X11 forwarding (default).
-A Enable agent forwarding.
-a Disable agent forwarding (default).
-t Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT specified).
-T Disable pty allocation (default if a command is specified).
-1 Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
-2 Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
-C Enable SSH compression.
-i path
Private key file for authentication.
-s Remote command is SSH subsystem (SSH-2 only).
-N Don't start a remote command or shell at all (SSH-2 only).
-sercfg configuration-string
Specify the configuration parameters for the serial port, in -serial mode. configuration-string should be a comma-separated list of
configuration parameters as follows:
o Any single digit from 5 to 9 sets the number of data bits.
o `1', `1.5' or `2' sets the number of stop bits.
o Any other numeric string is interpreted as a baud rate.
o A single lower-case letter specifies the parity: `n' for none, `o' for odd, `e' for even, `m' for mark and `s' for space.
o A single upper-case letter specifies the flow control: `N' for none, `X' for XON/XOFF, `R' for RTS/CTS and `D' for DSR/DTR.
