I tried that, except that I put a "|" symbol between remotefile and localfile, as indicated in the helpfile. Also I used the "-c" parameter to indicate "blowfish" for the cipher type because that is the cipher type that works at "sdf.lonestar.org". I'll try to do what works for you and I'll let you know what happens. BRB . . . . EUREKA!!! IT WORKED!!! I successfully copied a file from my Unix shell account to my local DOS box. I'll bet I can do it the other way around too. I'll find out and let you know later. Thanks for all the help. I think I will forget about my earlier proposed experiment for now. Now that we have discovered how the darned thing works I don't think that it will work for using a local host to copy a remote file from one remote host to another remote host. Syntax I used was "scpdos -c blowfish sheywood sdf.lonestar.org:remotefile localfile When I entered that command it connected to "sdf.lonestar.com" and the server presented me with the password prompt. I entered my password and then the file copy operation happened. I used different names for the remotefile and the localfile.
