UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I wan't to connect to another computer on the network and get a file. I know the IP and name of the computer and have access to it. I've tried the ssh in xterm and think i've managed to logon to it. the file is in /tmp/ on the host computer. I'm using KDE

Try the scp command or ftp.

Following command line - replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with correct IP (or hostname) and replace the path and file name with the one you want - it should copy the file into your present working directory on your server. It will also ask for your password before sending the file.

scp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/somedirectory/somefile ./

ftp may or may not work - it matters if the other server has it running or not.

if u are in the same network u can do "scp" command..
