Hi, Thanks for the extra-ordinarily excellent package ssh. I love all the devs helping out with ssh. I am not subscribed to the list, so if anyone wants to reply, kindly CC me. Wish report: ========When I ssh from 'laptop' to 'server', and I see a file I want to scp back to my laptop. The typical way for almost everyone (unless I am totally mistaken) is to: scp file user at laptop and enter his password for the laptop. This is per transferred file! Unfortunately, this is too cumbersome! I was thinking of a FTP like 'get' functionality, so basically on the server, if you scp a file and don't specify a destination, it is automatically copied back to *me* in the current folder. So, to copy a file over scp, I would scp file This is way easier/faster. Not sure if this can be implemented without breaking compatibility somehow. Anyway, that's just what I wanted to say. Thanks again, and best regards

But, if you're using a decent terminal emulator Google for zmodem. minicom is the only emulator I know of which would support this on the backend, but most Windows emulators do as well, I think. Using zmodem (or xmodem or ymodem or kermit, even) will allow you full shell access, and then allow you to send a file backward across the same connection.
