- wing:~ Ben$ scp bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu:Desktop/source_file.txt target_file.txt
-On Windows XP or Vista hosts there are no SCP clients installed by default.  Users can install [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY], which will enable SSH and SCP access.
-Alternatively, all users can use the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet located [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/ssh/ here] without installing any additional software.
