Ok,
I am a true Unix dummy so try and be patient here.
I log onto remote computers via PuTTY on my Windows 8.1 laptop. Transferring files between remote computers is not a problem for me. However, I need to transfer a file from a remote computer to the desktop of my laptop.
When I log into PuTTY it automatically connects me to one of my remote computers at school. What I am trying to figure out is the address of my laptop so I can use sftp or scp to transfer files. Is it just my IP address, if so how do I find it?
Thanks!
