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 ~ ?
