If you are using sftp

sftp -i ~/.ssh/keyfilename -P 22 user@hostname.com 

if you are using your default key, and you are using the default port of 22, you can drop the
-i  and -P options

when connected

put  filename  (uploads file)
get filename  (downloads file)

cd  and ls (change directory or use ls on REMOTE machine)
lcd  lls (change working directory and ls on YOUR machine)

Today, I tried to install filezilla on my linux
laptop and it did not work. What is the best option?

I can ssh from one of my linux laptops into another
one on my home network, but I don't know the syntax
to ftp from one to the other. And I don't know any
other way to send to or retrieve from one to the other.

I tried 'scp' but don't know the correct syntax.
