How do i use scp to copy a file from my home directory on a server I am logged into, to the computer I am using?


I thought it would be something like:

scp filename mycomp.company.org

Thanks.

You almost have it.

Doing it your way you should have ended up with a file called mycomp.company.org (using scp filename mycomp.company.org )

Try this instead:
scp filename mycomp.company.org:

You have to put the colon in to let it know that is a system instead of a file name.

alright, that worked, thanks
