Copying files between different linux machines

[Thierry Lam]

Let's say I have two linux machines with the following names:
-linone
-lintwo

If I'm currently on linone and if I want to copy a bunch of files from
lintwo into linone, how can that be done in a python script without
using ftp?

Thanks
Thierry

I'll presume you have ssh, scp on both boxes
$ man ssh
$ man scp
$scp mydata.dat user@host:mydata.dat

Use scp.

Best is shfs.
This uses the safety of ssh and allows you to mount filesystems on an
external computer locally with commands like mount & umount: shfsmount
& shfsumount.
