copying a file from one host to another via commandline

[KevinGabbert]

hey,

I have a file on my current machine, but I'm looking to xfer it to my other machine (both Ubuntu, mine festy, other computer, edgy)

so I looked into the rcp command. ok, sounds simple:

my convo with the commandline:

kevin@computer:~/Desktop$ rcp -r calendarplugin admin@192.168.0.15:/x
admin@192.168.0.15's password:
scp: /x/calendarplugin: Permission denied

well, i got pretty far, password was correct, but something went wrong. What would I check to make sure that 192.168.0.15 will let me in?

if there is a better way than rcp, I'm open to that too.

Do you have write permission to the directory on the remote host?

The better way is to make sure that the ssh service is running and open on the target machine, and use 'scp':

scp <file> <user>@<host>:<full_path>/[<filename_if_required>]

as a verifigation, I also tried to SSH in via Ubuntu's "Connect to Server" gnome dialog, and it let me view info & read it, but not copy to that machine. So it is balking on the permissions apparently.

How would I set permissions on destination machine?
