Re: SSH between computers on LAN

I have sshd on this Hardy on my big computer and it works fine when

still works fine. But I can't get it to transfer files between the 2
computers.

I read where a guy was using "scp" to transfer files but his router
failed. My problem is simply "scp" doesn't work because I can not figure
out how to use it. When I type "scp" it prints a long list of things
which mean nothing to me.

This is the same as ftp but using different letters and such. I
don't have sshd set up on the laptop. Could this cause a problem?

my lan as well. try it this way, and take a look at the man page too,
its helpful

scp filename <space> ip of computer your sending to: ~

this will transfer the file to the home directory of receiving computer
