Forget everything else, use scp.
scp username at hostname:/path/to/things localdestinationpath
to copy the remote file to the local PC
or
scp localdestinationpath username at hostname:/path/to/things
to copy the local file to the remote PC
If you have KDE on your notebook or desktop, you can use the ultra-cool
fish:// protocol to view and drag and drop files from the remote PC
using ssh so it is all encrypted.
For example, in konqueror
fish://username@hostname/path/to/things
Will, after getting a password from you, show you the directory listing
of /path/to/things on the remote computer hostname, with you "logged in"
on the remote computer as "username".
That directory listing follows all the same semantics as a local
directory listing, you can delete files (according to the privs owned by
the username you "logged in" with on the fish:// line) drag and drop and
so on.
It doesn't need KDE on the remote computer either, so you can get all
these convenient powers of management in local konqueror even on a
headless server in another country. Really cool!
