You want the "scp" feature (Secure CoPy). Use it like this:

scp filename.tar.gz james@bigbox:/home/james/

"man scp" will give you more information, but here's a quick summary:

scp <source> <destination>

source and destination are user@hostname:path (remote location), or just a
filename.

One caveat: no wildcards!


James.
