Here’s a superb way to securely transfer files between two hosts. If you have SSH up and running on two hosts you can use the following command to carry out the transfer. [code]$ scp <filename> user@remoteHost:/path/to/copy/file/to[/code] Once you hit return you’ll be prompted to provide your password so that you can login and start the transfer. I have also updated de-compressing files in linux demonstrating, how to Gunzip and un-tar in one step.
