What I believe you are looking for from a command line is 'scp'. Secure Copy is the copy command (cp) and ssh together. Here is an example of copying a file from your computer to another.
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/save_filename /home/user/localfilename After you press enter you will be prompted to enter the password for the user you specified on the remote computer. Providing the credentials are correct the file will be copied correctly. As an alternate, using the GUI. If you are running the gnome desktop select Places/Connect to Server. For service type select "ssh" For Server enter the name or ip address (servername.com) Leave port alone unless you know that ssh is running on a port different then 22. It assumes this. User Name is the user name to connect to the remote server Name to use for connection can be a nickname for it, or you can leave it blank. Once you select Connect you will have a new icon on your desktop for the connection. It didn't actually complete the connection, but it did mount it. If you double click it, it should prompt for a password. You will then have a File Browser window with the contents of the remote server appear. You can then copy and paste files from your system to the remote, graphically via ssh.
