How should I tell it to start from / rather than ~ ?
Instead of
192.168.0.3:mnt/sda1
Do:
192.168.0.3:/mnt/sda1
The path-resolution rules apply unchanged after the ':'
Do:
man path_resolution
'Michaels-Laptop' will only resolve in 'Michaels-Laptop', unless you add
that name/IP combo to some sort of name-resolution system (bind, /etc/hosts,
many options to choose from)
localhost (or 127.0.0.1) will resolve to 'this machine' (when properly
configured, which is the case in most Linux installations if not all of
them)
Don't shot yourself on the foot.
Again...

you're right... that isn't what I want. I thought that:
scp -r -o Compression yes -o CompressionLevel 9 -o HostName
192.168.0.3:mnt/sda1
fatherswithforeignbabies...@fatherswithforeignbabies.us:
copies/2012-2-17
would copy recursively 192.168.0.3 from /mnt/sda1 to the
server:folder/filename

Mike, look at the path after the colon:
what that says is:
'copy whatever is inbound to a directory named "mnt/sda1"
located in my HOME directory'
Is that what you want? to th
Probably not...

hmmmmm.... not working. I wonder why. Any ideas?

lost connection
bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~ $
The yes/no argument is there though!
I tried putting the yes in quotes, capitalized, just y, and some others I
can't remember.

cool.... after investigating further I've modified my command string.
Could you show me how to make it right (I just assume I'm wrong
anymore!)?
scp -r -o Compression yes -o CompressionLevel 9 user1@host1:mnt/sda1
user2@host2:desired/directory/**file/name
