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