Using Secure Shell you will find the scp "Secure Copy" command available! It has been observed the syntax is sometimes possibly different.
Example: From the Mac command prompt, you want to copy mods from a Linux machine to the correct folder on your Mac.
% cd /Users/nicole/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/mods % scp linuxuser@192.168.10.10:/home/linuxuser/.minecraft/mods/\* ./
This copies all the files from the folder path on the linux machine over to the pwd of the mac. Nicole will have the files from linuxuser.
