 mplayer --gui video.wmv ... did not work for me.
 
 I was able to install xine-ui from synaptic, but it makes terrible noises
 when running (like very loud white-noise).
 
 mplayer works fine, except it opens a huge terminal window with a log of
 lines of technical info scrolling while the video runs. Is there any way
 to make that terminal window not open (or resize it very small) while
 keeping the video window the main attraction?

On my Arch Linux system, I installed a package called gnome-mplayer
and it works great with audio.  Frankly I never tried any videos with
it so far.  Dunno if that is what gmplayer used to be or if that is
something different.

Thanks Steve. gnome-mplayer seems to be the actual name for gmplayer.

It works well.

How to ssh copy a file from local to web host when logged in?

2010-12-19 Thread joe

What is the syntax to copy a file from a local computer to a web host
server when logged in to the web host server?

I used to use 'ftp' to upload files to my web host server, but it seems
that in the latest update 'ftp has been removed from my system.

So when I 'ssh' log-in to my web host server, what is the correct syntax
to copy a file (or complete directory) from my local system to the
target/destination web host server?

I tried this: cp -p /home/joe/filename.pdf rascal.pdf

But that does not work. It gives this error message:

cp: cannot stat `/home/joe/filename.pdf': No such file or directory

 From a terminal/console that is not ssh-ed into your web host, copy the
 files diectly with scp.

But my question was what syntax should I use *while I am logged in* to my
web host server to copy a file (or directory) from my local system to my
web host server.

# scp [what] to [what] ???

Thanks Keith!

 I Found this if it helps: 

 scp [[u...@]from-host:]source-file [[u...@]to-host:][destination-file]
