Question

I'm using a Mac to remotely access a computer in my university's computer lab. The Mac serves as a terminal. If I need to transfer some files from my computer into the one in the lab, is it, firstly, possible? If yes, then please guide me to it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Absolutely, use the UNIX / Linux command scp (secure copy):

$ scp user@server:directory/SourceFile TargetFile

Update based on OP's response:

$ scp path/to/my/file.txt user@server.com:/path/to/copy/to/file.txt
