G'day,
I'd appreciate somebody pointing me where to look for info on how to
copy files from a home directory on one machine to a directory on
another machine via network.
I've got about 100GB of data I need to copy from my desktop running
ubuntu 9.04 on to a laptop running Debian Squeeze which are both at
my home.
I'm not even sure how to word it in just a few words so I can google it.
Maybe simplest way is using 'ssh'. You can also use 'rsync', but if
you've never used either before then learning about 'ssh' is arguably
more important than learning 'rsync'.
First read this:
http://wiki.debian.org/ssh
Then read about 'scp' (included with 'ssh'):

HTH,

That's right. I've never used either tool before. Thanks a lot for the tip!
