Hi Guys

I've recently discovered scp and sftp as a means of transferring files between 
computers. I have a desktop and a laptop, both running Xubuntu 9.10. They are 
connected to a common router; the desktop via ethernet cable and the laptop via 
wi-fi.

Whilst I know how to use these protocols at a simple level, I'm not clear on 
the background architecture. Do the transfers just take place locally through 
the router or do they go via my ISP?

Apologies if this seems a bit dense. It's something I feel I should know 
already, but don't!

Regards

Nige
