Remote copy from another Volume ?
Authored by: prosper on Oct 18, '02 11:04:50AM

How can I do a remote copy from another Volume ?

" % scp me@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/Volumes/Documents/MyDocument . " always give me a "No such file or directory" message

Specify the path with a user, perhaps?

IMO, I think the better way to do this is transport yourself (ssh) down to the surface (ip) with the file you want then beam back (scp) the files you find there to the machine you're really at!

(Remember this only sends the data fork of old-fashioned mac files...)

Thats about the right syntax... I guess the thing to check is that you have the complete path entered and case is correct.... If you need to add spaces then excape them put \ before the space..

Me thinks you left the name of the volume out! For instance, if you had an external drive called "bozo", then the path to it would be:

/Volumes/bozo/

I was assuming the Volume was called "Documents" :-)
