help with ssh - lazydays - 10-09-2009
back-to-my-mac is failing me this morning but I can ssh to my home computer. I need a file off of it. How can I transfer a file via ssh? Thanks.

Use sftp or scp.
The best GUI client for this in a pinch is Cyberduck or Filezilla if you're on Windows.

scp should work. It's been a while since I've used it, but I think that it is something like
scp user@computer1
ath/to/the/filename user@computer2:path/to/the/filenameWhy am I writing this out? You have access to Google. Figure it out.

edit: is there an 'escape' character on the forum that will disable smiley's? It is so annoying when you try to give someone instructions and a smiley appears in the middle of it because you use a colon as part of the command.

open terminal and try "man scp"
if you want it in non-cryptic terms, google "scp terminal mac"
I think you can only push files from the host computer to another computer.

No, you can scp either way.

Definitely go the sftp route. Use any ftp program and for the port number use port 22 instead of 21.
