Ssh cat file output into a file on local computer
Hello,

I'm on a remote computer by SSH. How can I get the output of "cat file" into a file on the local computer?

I cannot use scp, because it's blocked.

something like:

Code:
ssh root@remote_maschine "cat /file" > /locale_machine/file

Looks good - why not just try it? AND - use code tags!

Thank you anyway. SmilieSmilieSmilie
