Thanks, but now what
Thanks for the tutorial. It has helped me out tremendously. A problem I'm having now is that when I try to scp a file I get this error message: warning: Cannot open source file <host:file>
Re:Thanks, but now what
I tried different combinations to try to reproduce your error (coming from a Linux machine trying to scp to/from a MacOSX machine), but the best I could come up with is a "No such file or directory" or a "permission denied".
So at most I can suggest two things. 1) try putting a "/" in front of "Users". I couldn't scp without it when I tried. An initial "/" in unix signifies to start from the root directory. scp jack@192.168.0.2:/Users/jack/public/myfile.txt . 2) In the initial example above, make sure you include the final space and ".". This indicates to copy into the existing local directory. 3) If you can't retrieve a remote file, try transferring a local file to the remote MacOSX machine by using scp. just reverse the arguments after scp, i.e.: scp myfile.txt jack@192.168.0.2:/Users/jack/public/ Hope this helps. Otherwise I can assure you that it does work, so just keep trying... |
