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.

rplay

RPLAY(1)						      General Commands Manual							  RPLAY(1)

NAME

       rplay - play, pause, continue, and stop sounds

SYNOPSIS

       rplay [options] [sound ...]

DESCRIPTION

       rplay  is  client  that	communicates with rplayd to play, pause, continue, and stop sounds using both the RPLAY and RPTP protocols.  Sound
       files can be played by rplayd directly if available on the local system or sounds can be sent over the network using UDP or TCP/IP.   rplay
       will attempt to determine whether or not the server has the sound before using the network.

OPTIONS

       -b BYTES, --buffer-size=BYTES
	      Use of a buffer size of BYTES when playing sounds using RPTP flows.  The default is 8K.

       -c, --continue
	      Continue sounds.

       -n N, --count=N
	      Number of times to play the sound, default = 1.

       -N N, --list-count=N
	      Number of times to play all the sounds, default = 1.

       --list-name=NAME
	      Name this list NAME.  rplayd appends sounds with the same NAME into the same sound list -- it plays them sequentially.

       --help Display helpful information.

       -h HOST, --host=HOST, --hosts=HOST
	      Specify the rplay host, default = localhost.

       -i INFO, --info=INFO
	      Audio  information  for a sound file.  This option is intended to be used when sounds are read from standard input.  INFO must be of
	      the form:
		  `format,sample-rate,bits,channels,byte-order,offset' Examples: ulaw,8000,8,1,big-endian,0
			gsm,8000 Shorthand info is provided for  Sun's	audio  devices	using  the  following  options:  --info-amd,  --info-dbri,
	      --info-cs4231.  There's also: --info-ulaw and --info-gsm.

       -p, --pause
	      Pause sounds.

       --port=PORT
	      Use PORT instead of the default RPLAY/UDP or RPTP/TCP port.

       -P N, --priority=N
	      Play sounds at priority N (0 <= N <= 255), default = 0.

       -r, --random
	      Randomly choose one of the given sounds.

       --reset
	      Tell the server to reset itself.

       --rplay, --RPLAY
	      Force  the use of the RPLAY protocol.  The default protocol to be used is determined by checking whether or not the server has local
	      access to the specified sounds.  RPLAY is used when sounds are accessible, otherwise RPTP and possibly flows are used.   RPLAY  will
	      also be used when sound accessibility cannot be determined.

       --rptp, --RPTP
	      Force the use of the RPTP protocol.  See `--rplay' for more information about protocols.

       -R N, --sample-rate=N
	      Play sounds at sample rate N, default = 0.

       -s, --stop
	      Stop sounds.

       --version
	      Print the rplay version and exit.

       -v N, --volume=N
	      Play sounds at volume N (0 <= N <= 255), default = 127.
