    Well I am trying to transfer a file from the computer I'm connected 
to with ssh, and it seems to try to reach the ip address I gave but it 
isn't getting there for some reason.

    But scp seems to be happy with the # scp filename ip format. So I 
will keep trying and many thanks for the hints!
