The easiest way to use ssh is ssh -l username remotehost or ssh -l root dummy.net The simpliest syntax for scp is scp sourcefiles destinationfiles scp sourcefile user@host:destinationfile ex. scp ubuntu.rpm [email protected]:ubuntu.rpm or scp ubuntu.rpm [email protected]:/etc/ubuntu.rpm or scp [email protected]:/etc/ubuntu.rpm ubuntu.rpm All actions above requires you to have password unless you edited your configuration files.
I rather prefer: Code: ssh user@remote and for scp I use on windows winscp (http://www.winscp.com) and on linux I prefer konqueror (fish://user@remote)
