hey..... I figured out the username/hostid thing. the laptop is 'bmike1@Michaels-Laptop'. that was easy.

you're right... that isn't what I want. I thought that:

     scp -r -o Compression yes -o CompressionLevel 9 -o HostName 192.168.0.3:mnt/sda1
     fatherswithforeignbabies.us@fatherswithforeignbabies.us:copies/2012-2-17

would copy recursively 192.168.0.3 from /mnt/sda1 to the server:folder/filename
How should I tell it to start from / rather than ~ ?

bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~ $ scp -r -o Compression yes -o CompressionLevel 9

lost connection
bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~ $
The yes/no argument is there though!
I tried putting the yes in quotes, capitalized, just y, and some others I
can't remember.

cool.... after investigating further I've modified my command string.
Could you show me how to make it right (I just assume I'm wrong anymore!)?
scp -r -o Compression yes -o CompressionLevel 9 user1@host1:mnt/sda1
user2@host2:desired/directory/file/name
