now "mp3"is the direcory i want to copy and "nigels" is the directory i want to copy to is there any reason i can not do this please.
THanks nige

hello i kind of found out how to copy a file from 1 computer to another using this command."scp /home/masternige/mp3 192.168.1.100:/tmp"
but i am getting this error message.
"root@localhost:/home/masternige# scp /home/masternige/mp3 192.168.1.100:/tmp
root@192.168.1.100's password:
/home/masternige/mp3: not a regular file
root@localhost:/home/masternige#
can any body tell me why this is an iregular file please the directory im trying to copy is full of mp3 songs
thanks nige

ok let's say the local box has a ip 192.168.0.1 and the remote box has 12.168.0.2

you wanna copy a file named f1 which in /root of your local box and you are logged in as root user
#scp /root/f1 192.168.0.2:/root
*give the root password of the remote machine*
0%****************************100%

*if you were coping a directory then
#scp -r /root/dir_name 192.168.0.2:/root

Thanks for your reply the commmand its self was good the problem was it kept telling me it was not a regular file there for it could not copy it any way what i did was turn it into a ".tar" then it allowed me to copy it thanks very much

Hello i was hoping someone would help me out with yet another problem please i am wanting to use x with ssh so this is what i am doing.
[master29@master master29]$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET:aries
[master29@master master29]$ xhost +aries
aries being added to access control list
[master29@master master29]$ ssh -x masternige@aries
masternige@aries's password:
Last login: Sun Jul 24 18:28:49 2005 from master.home
Linux 2.4.26.
masternige@localhost:~$ echo $Display

masternige@localhost:~$ export Display=aries
masternige@localhost:~$ xterm &
[1] 18777
masternige@localhost:~$ xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
masternige@localhost:~$

as you can see the name of the computer i want to access is called aries i can connect no problem but it is giving me an error message on x .
my friend showed me how to do this but he had to leave before i could practice with him here.so now i am only half way there any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Nige

ok i have done a bit more searching on the net it would seem i am missing this" :0.0" but where does it go.I know i am close i tried adding it here like this .
[master29@master master29]$ xhost +aries
aries being added to access control list
[master29@master master29]$ ssh -X masternige@aries:0.0
ssh: aries:0.0: Name or service not known
[master29@master master29]$ xhost +aries
aries being added to access control list
[master29@master master29]$ ssh -X masternige@aries
masternige@aries's password:

masternige@localhost:~$ echo $Display:0.0
:0.0
masternige@localhost:~$ export Display=aries
masternige@localhost:~$ xterm &
[1] 18860
masternige@localhost:~$ xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
but that did not work so i am assuming i need to put " :0.0" some where else so ill keep trying for know

ok iv done it this is the answer.
[master29@master master29]$ xhost +aries
aries being added to access control list
[master29@master master29]$ ssh -X masternige@aries
masternige@aries's password:

masternige@localhost:~$ export DISPLAY=master:0
masternige@localhost:~$ xterm &

i was wandering if some one could tell me how to edit /etc using ssh so lets say i have ssh in to whatever machine i "cd to /etc" now how do i edit something from here please

vim, emacs, or pico.

I'd suggest spending the time to learn Emacs.
