Did the OP try something like: ======================= scp -p -v -c blowfish /<local_box_path_to_file> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/hda5/ ======================= The above assumes: 1. Blowfish encryption for faster transfers 2. <local_box_path_to_file> would be something like /home/fred/file.txt 3. 192.168.0.3 is the IP address of the remote box. Check with your router or do a ifconfig -a on the remote box to see what IP address it has. If you have DNS resolution working you can always use host names instead of IP addresses. 4. scp, sftp, ssh will only work if your have started sshd on the remote box (rc-update -a sshd default). Once you're done remove sshd from the default level for security purposes, unless you have secured you machine adequately (e.g. no direct root logins, different port to 22, etc. - read the man pages) -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
