Copying files from unix servers to other locations e.g. C directory
Hi,

I am just wondering is it possible to move or copy a file from a UNIX server to a different location e.g. the C drive on a computer?

I have used the
Code:
 cp

command to move files to different locations on unix servers but it would be handy to move a file to my C drive.

I am currently using .sh script to execute any commands.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
