Chapter 24. Using Other Systems Remotely at the Command Line

What You'll Learn in This Chapter:

  • How to connect to and work on remote Linux or Unix systems

  • How to transfer files from Linux to Linux or Linux to Unix

  • How to transfer files between Linux and Windows

  • How to print to network printers

So far, you've learned how to do many things at the command line, including basic file management and housekeeping, high-quality document creation, mathematics, simple database management, web browsing, and email. In this chapter, you begin to learn how to use Linux and the console to accomplish the networking tasks that really set Unix and Linux systems apart from most more consumer-oriented systems: their ability to be used to their fullest as network machines. Chapter 27, "Using Desktop Applications Remotely," might be seen as a companion to this chapter. With the skills you learn here and in Chapter 27, you will be able to truly enter the virtual world, where the geographical location of your computer is completely irrelevant to any computing task in any corner of the globe, so long as it is connected to a network.
