Re: How to transfer files between computers on a network

Well, I think I'm finally getting closer, now that I understand what the actual syntax should look like with real data in it. This is what I tried: $ scp /home/joe/mydata/track2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/joe/mydata/track2 That seemed to almost work ... except I got this reply: ssh: connect to host

Trial and error. I'd start with making sure sshd is running on the target machine. Usually (depending on distro), # /etc/init.d/sshd status will tell if it's running or not. If it's not running, # /etc/init.d/sshd start should start it up, but only until the next reboot. The method of making it p

And the scp file transfer worked. It did ask for a password, though. Not a big problem, but is there any way to avoid that requirement for an extra manual step? Perhaps put the password in the initial syntax somehow? On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 3:15 PM, Josef Lowder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank

There is a -B (batch mode) option that prevents asking for passwords. I'm not sure how that would work though. I expect that the target system's user account would need to have no password in that case, but I'm not sure of that. rsync really isn't much different syntax wise from scp, and it all

Just out of curiosity can I have a command execute when I open command line? Thought I would have: cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature start up each time I opened it so I could check my temperature regularly. I searched for the answer and the closest answer I got was putting it in /etc
