How to execute a command on UNIX?
Hi guys,
I'm completely new to UNIX and Linux and all that stuff. I've been using webhosting (shared) for some time years now and recently I've wanted to carry out some tasks that have had some commands which are not familiar to me. One was to install Mailman and the other to copy files from one server to another. I searched for ways to do the latter and got this:
Code:
$ scp source/file.c remoteuser@remoteaddr:remote/dir
$ scp -r remoteuser@remoteaddr:remote/dir ~/tmp

which means nothing to me. I assume that it's a command relating to UNIX and I have no idea how to execute such things. I am used to programming having written plenty of PHP and some client-side languages (not professionally), but this is like nothing I've ever seen.
If this is not UNIX related, I apologise, please correct me. If it is, how might I go about running such a command?
I've searched a bit but nothing much useful seems to come up. If it's helpful, my server says it's "UNIX Type: L8".

Thanks for your time,
Ben

bbstored-certs

BBSTORED-CERTS(8)						    Box Backup							 BBSTORED-CERTS(8)

NAME

       bbstored-certs - Manage certificates for the Box Backup system

SYNOPSIS

       bbstored-certs certs-dir command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       bbstored-certs creates and signs certificates for use in Box Backup. It allows the user to create and sign the server keys, as well as
       signing client keys.

       All commands must be followed by the certs-dir, which is the directory in which the certificates are stored.

   Commands
       There are 3 commands:

       init
	   Create the certs-dir, and generate the server keys for bbstored.  certs-dir cannot exist before running the command.

       sign-server servercsrfile
	   Sign the server certificate. The servercsrfile is the file generated by the init command.

       sign clientcsrfile
	   Sign a client certificate. The clientcsrfile is generated during client setup. See bbackupd-config(8). Send the signed certificate back
	   to the client, and install according to the instructions given by bbackupd-config.

FILES

       raidfile-config(8) generates the raidfile.conf(5) file.

BUGS

       If you find a bug in Box Backup, and you want to let us know about it, join the mailing list[1], and send a description of the problem
       there.

       To report a bug, give us at least the following information:

       o   The platform you are running on (hardware and OS), for both client and server.

       o   If possible attach your config files (bbstored.conf, bbackupd.conf) to the bug report.

       o   Also attach any log file output that helps shed light on the problem you are seeing.
