You really want to find some tutorial on basic Linux usage given the nature of your last two posts (especially as it's way off topic for this forum), but yes, the example you gave works fine.

Code: Select all

scp file user@machine:
for example copies the file named "file" to the account for the user named "user" on the machine named "machine". It works, I do this regularly to back up stuff from my PS3 to my main machine.

If you want to copy to/from a windows machine, I'd suggest you download WinSCP and initiate everything from the Windows machine, as that's the path of least resistance from the windows side.

Sending files by e-mail is fairly simple, but assumes that your system has mail set up correctly. In your case, I strongly doubt this, so I'd suggest you stick to using scp. Or buy a book on Linux.

Receiving files by e-mail is trickier unless you are using a GUI. You will probably want to install a mail client like elm or pine for use under the console. Again, you'll need to set up your machine properly to do this; I'd suggest for PS3 development this isn't worthwhile as it doesn't really make sense to be using the PS3 as a replacement for a computer when developing on it.
