Hello,
I just can't find documentation on this:
I often use ssh to look at what files I have on a remote server, then
exit, remembering the location of the files I want to copy, and scp
from the local machine to get the files. This seems so inefficient,
but I never found the syntax to do something like "scp this_file
me@back_home:."during the ssh session, except where it's possible to
open a second connection from the remote site back to the local
computer. Is it possible at all? Does this kind of connection have a
special name which can be used to search in Google?
Thank you,
Mark
