[ale] Dumb question - file transfer over SSH?

[Matt Smith]

scp local.file user at host:/path/to/where/you/want/it/to/go

reverse the order of file vs host to reverse the path

Works great.  I'm in the same boat here - I use it all the time.  

man scp works too :)

Subject: [ale] Dumb question - file transfer over SSH?


OK, I've always been lazy and done file transfers using ftp GUIs (usually a
browser, sometimes AbsoluteFTP).

Well, our FTP server was compromised last night, and the guys who are
hosting
us shut down FTP service, so now all I have SSH access.  So, my dumb
question
is:

How do I use scp to copy a file from there to here and vice versa?

I am behind a firewall and would really rather not open-up/forward any ports
if I don't have to.  I was hoping that since I was already connected through
SSH, there was a simple way to 'grab' or 'out' a file using the existing SSH
connection.

Anyone?

thanks

charles
