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.

Answer 1

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
