I can do this fine using WS_FTP Pro in Windows, using another local Windows machine, and then use WS_FTP Pro to copy the files to the FreeBSD local machine from the Windows computer. It seems like I should be able to perform the same copy process directly, from one FreeBSD machine to the other, using ssh.

I can connect to the distant machine just fine using ssh.

For purposes of discussion, I'm logged into the distant machine as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm logged in to the directory /www/jay
and my localmachine directory (now empty) is /home/www/jay. I want everything in the www/jay directory on distantmachine to be copied as the home/www/jay directory on localmachine.



scp -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/www/jay /home/www/jay
