ainoy31 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hello- Isn't there a command to copy or extract a file from a remote server to my local hard drive. I have searched the web and have not found anything useful. Thank you.

ainoy31 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks for the reply. I have already unzip the .gz file to my home directory on the server but I want to have a copy on the desktop as well.

trq Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 If you want to move files from a directory on a remote machine to a directory on your local machine use scp. Your original question is kinda misleading.
