Hi I have used ssh to login on a remote clutser-computer, where I have some data I would like to get to the computer I'm working on..

But I do not know the full addresse to the computer I'm workning on(the computer is in a computer room in my school). So I can't scp my data

So aint there enyone out there, who could help me with a command so I can se my full addresse..?

Hopefully thanks

Ah. I see.

erm... I'm not sure if this'll work either, but try

Code:

echo $HOST

that should give you the name of the computer you're connected to, which if I remember correctly, forms the second half of the ssh command.

edit: surely if you ssh'ed in, then you already know this?...

Yeah thanks I've got It

Manny thanks now I can get my work...

host tells me the computername and pwd the path whoami my username...

So I'm glad

Thanks again pwc101
