Remote Computer Access

[Rodney Kanno]

Okay I have another question...sorry...when I use scp to copy a file 
over...say i'm at home and I log into my computer at school and I scp an 
image or a text file. When I try to look at the image or text file in 
konquerer, i either get a blank screen (for the image) or a prompt asking me 
what application i want to use to view the text file because konquerer does 
not recognize it. The file names are identical. I know ssh encrypts 
information, so does that mean I have to unencrypt it after i copy?

Thanks,
Rodney
