Mac Terminal

SCP

Another great experience with the terminal.  Since I reformatted I lost macfuse and sshfs to mount my server’s drive to my mac os x desktop to transfer files I had to find an alternative.  Yes I could use some FTP client but since I have learned how unsecure ftp can be I have started to used the command line anyways.  So to transfer my files I learned about scp.  Great little utilty.  Here’s the command:
scp file username@server:directory
