It's been a very long time since I last used scp to copy files between desktops and laptops on the local LAN. Searching the web for scp examples I find only pages with commands for transferring a file from local to remote host, from remote to local hosts. between two remote hosts, and transferring multiple files to/from local/remote. Feh!
To transfer a file from the laptop to the desktop tried `scp ./<filenamd> salmo'. That failed. So did adding the port option. What am I missing? TIA, Rich
