Copying files between remote machines can be easily done
using SCP command.

The syntax is:

copy from a remote machine to my machine:

scp user@192.168.0.1:/home/file.txt /home/x.txt

copy from my machine to a remote machine:

scp /home/x.txt user@192.168.0.1:/home/x.txt

copy all x*.txt from a remote machine to my machine (x01.txt, x02.txt, etc.)

scp “user@192.168.0.1:/home/x*.txt” /home/x.txt

copy a directory from a remote machine to my machine:

scp -r user@192.168.0.1:/home/folder /home/

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with the Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card, one that has given many Linux users big headaches.

After trying many different approaches suggested all over the web, and gathering clues in many Ubuntu forum posts, I finally worked out this solution:

First of all you must check if you have the correct card:

lspci -nn | grep 14e4

Result: 05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [14e4:4311 (rev 01)]

Then proceed to the first step:

1. blacklist bcm43xx

echo blacklist bcm43xx | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

2. install ndiswrapper and related files

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndisgtk

If you found yourself in the position of needing something from the Vista installation disk, you can always raise a Command Prompt Window, and navigate to that location. For example you need the product key so you can copy - paste it rather than typing it by hand.

During the GUI phase of the installation you can press the SHIFT + F10 keys, and you will have yourself a Command Window. From this you can navigate to a text file, or run regedit.exe or any other executable Vista copied to the installation folder on the hard disk.

Thank you Daniel Petri, for this information.
