how to get filezilla or best option ...

[joe at actionline.com]

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.
