Remote Computer Access

[donovan.chun]

Does anyone know of a way to use SSH through a http proxy?
I noticed that Mindterm has a Settings>Proxy option.
Does anyone know what that setting is for?

For copying files with ssh you use the command 'scp' (secure copy).  The
syntax is pretty simple:

scp <ip.address>:/path/to/file <ip.address>:/path/to/file

you really only need the IP for the remote system.  SO if you want to
get a file from your UH system and you are logged into you home system
do this:

scp <ip.address>:/path/to/file /home/me/filename

You can also use sftp if it is installed on both systems.  It doen't
always come with an SSH install.  Basically it is just like ftp, except
the entire session is encrypted.

A third choice is to use a good ssh client (like mindterm
http://www.appgate.com/products/mindterm/demo/index.html) is nice.
Mindterm has a demo you can use from that link.  It makes scp easy and
allows you to tunnel any protocol (as far as I have found) through SSH.
Once logged into the remote system with mindterm goto file-->SCP File
Transfer and start copying files.
