This is probably a simple error, but I can't work it out.
My computer hostname is Felix (hostname -f
returns Felix)
I am trying to move a file from my university account to my home computer using scp.
I can ssh easily to the remote computer so that connection is fine, the scp syntax I am using is (whilst connected to remote computer via ssh):
scp myusername@university_computer:/home/myusername/file.odt homeusername@Felix:Desktop/file.odt
I have tried a number of variations of this, and the error it returns is:
ssh: Felix: Name or service not known
Which suggests to me that using homeusername@Felix
isn't the right syntax to be using.
I am not a superuser on the university system and only have access to my files, so cannot access any system files.
Any ideas?
