file copy issue

lifetaster · 02-20-2004, 02:17 AM

I am currently now using telnet to a HP-UX machine from RedHat Linux.
How can I copy a file in HP-UX to the local RH one?

Thank you.

You need ftp client/server or mount nfs dirs.

both the boxes should fhave the ftp client but may not be running the ftp server. You need to start the ftp daemon on both and do an ftp.

Since ftp is insecure you should consider using ssh scp and sftp.

thank you.
i m within a company network, so security is not a concern.
can show more details about the commands of ftp for copying files?

thanks again
