All part of OpenSSH. Personally I use scp. scp local_source user at machine:/remote_desination/file That's basically it. You can reverse it also. scp user at machine:/remote_source/file /local_destination/file Very easy. It will then prompt you for the password for the remote system and off it goes. Of course you have to know exactly where the files is. It can also transfer entire directories. sim
