UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello,

Please assist me in using screen command in AIX to scp file to other server



Best regards,
Vishal

What have you tried so far?
Have you read the manual pages?
What are the two server OS and versions?
Have you researched and got a problem?
What output/errors do you get?

A bit more explanation of effort on your part might elicit an answer.

Both the severs os are AIX.

.... and the version?

Then try man scp

Let us know what problems you are having.

There is also this:- Help for SCP



Please use both and answer my other questions if you want further assistance.

Please assist me in using a washcloth to start a fire.

Can you explain (in addition to the other questions you have been asked) what "screen" has to do with "scp"? These are completely different programs which have nothing to do with each other. Use "scp" to transfer files, use "screen" to create (sort-of) virtual terminals.

can't screen be used to scp a file just like nohup?I think one line answer or command would have given the response instead of getting into unnecessary idioms.

Sigh, ... you can't "use screen to scp" and you can't "use nohup to scp" anything either! You can use "scp" to transfer a file - period. You can use "screen" (or "nohup" and probably some other tools) to make a process independent of a real existing terminal. But this capability has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH SCP, for chrissakes!

So, for the umpteenth time, and hopefully this time in a form you can understand: is your problem:

a) to understand how to use scp in particular

b) to understand how to transfer a file

c) to understand how processes, terminals, etc. are connected

d) how to use "screen" in particular

e) something else you didn't bother to mention

f) none of the above

You come across like someone wanting us to do something. We will not! We will tell you how to do it yourself, but we will not - definitely not! - do it for you.
