Pretty simple. It even has a rudimentary help. SAMBA might not suit as it sounds like you might be remoting through the internet. Another alternative is to upload the file to a webserver you control. I normally just use a free email account. There's one mob that give you GBs of free storage space (even if you only ever use it for file storage). > > except Terminal server client, I tried ssh not work. Well it won't. It's *nix thing. Hence the Putty suggestion. <snipped> Does that mean email solves your problem? I probably should of suggested you create a single use webmail account (from Debian) then login to *that* account in the remote session - attach the pdf to an email and send it to your normal email account. That way you're not exposing a password that matter to an untrusted machine.
