scp is used in the same manner you use cp. It seems that you have ssh'd into your other box then are trying to scp to yourself. try this. comp1# scp root@<comp2>:/path/to/file.tar /path/to/local/ this will cp from <comp2> to <comp1> :) -Lares Lares Moreau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | LRU: 400755 http://counter.li.org lares/irc.freenode.net | Gentoo x86 Arch Tester | ::0 Alberta, Canada Public Key: 0D46BB6E @ subkeys.pgp.net | Encrypted Mail Preferred Key fingerprint = 0CA3 E40D F897 7709 3628 C5D4 7D94 483E 0D46 BB6E
