I have a file in my Linux work computer that I need on my personal Mac laptop and I wanted to know how I could get that to my mac computer. I can't email it to myself because it's a dmg file and it's too large via email. How can I send this file to myself using terminal commands? Also I have no administrative capabilities so I can't use sudo

I and my brother have User Accounts on this machine. I want to share the Documents directory with him.  Is there a STRAIGHTFORWARD way to do it?  I am not a power user so I am looking for a way to do this using nautilus, rather than a script or a way that requires creating symlinks.  I can download an application if i have to.  Last time I wanted to do this I just copied the contents to /home for both of us to use.  Something I can do in System Settings would be appreciated

I have a very slow Internet connection at home and cannot download large files there. However, I have a Macbook and fast Internet at school. Is it possible to download a game to my Macbook, then transfer the files to my home PC? Are the files different for Macs and PCs?  I did see  about general Steam file transfer from PC to PC, but it says nothing about Macs. I wasn't sure if the files are the same or not.  Edit: I just found  and it sounds like a direct download isn't possible, but maybe saving a few gigs of data by copying asset files would work.

How do you make an image of whole Mac disk drive and tranfer it to another Mac?  What is the best software to do this?   I am looking to make an exact duplicate copy of my machine to reload on a new Mac with the same hardware then reformat the older computer.  Acronis like software or something?

I've created a script that runs every night on my Linux server that uses mysqldump to back up each of my MySQL databases to .sql files and packages them together as a compressed .tar file.  The next step I want to accomplish is to send that tar file through email to a remote email server for safekeeping.  I've been able to send the raw script in the body an email by piping the backup text file to mailx like so:  $ cat mysqldbbackup.sql | mailx backup@email.com   cat echoes the backup file's text which is piped into the mailx program with the recipient's email address passed as an argument.  While this accomplishes what I need, I think it could be one step better, Is there any way, using shell scripts or otherwise, to send the compressed .tar file to an outgoing email message as an attachment?  This would beat having to deal with very long email messages which contain header data and often have word-wrapping issues etc.

I am using a laptop . I was thinking to have a support in my Ubuntu machine.  When an incorrect password is entered, a picture is taken later revealing who has been trying to gain access.  I have searched around and the only thing I have found is stuff to do this on Macs. Is It possible to write a script for Ubuntu to do same .  If possible then what is a script or Software to make this happen.

I have been looking for an answer to this and not finding anything which makes me think it's not possible but ...  Is it possible to save the current Gnome Terminal scrollback buffer to a file?  I know that I can do something like command &gt; output.txt to redirect all output to a file, or command | tee output.txt to split the output to the terminal as well as to a file. What I am trying to do is capture this after the fact. I'd like to save the current terminal tab's scrollback contents to a file.

I have an account named as Chankey (local user). I had to use some commands like viewing the shadow file etc. I tried it using sudo command     sudo vim /etc/shadow   It said:      Chankey is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.   How can I add this user Chankey to the sudoers file?

I've got my files (mostly text/code, nothing of heavy like videos etc.) in a directory on a remote server which I can only access by means of SSH. Can I mount it on my laptop to use it seamlessly from all the applications (incl command-line ones)?

Let's say one creates a file like so:  touch myFile   You enter some text in it with vim or whatever, and then use cat myFile to spit the contents out into the terminal.  Now, what happens when I use cat on any image?  Say,  cat myPNG.png   I just get a bunch of garbage.  It just made me think about what the cat command is attempting to do, and where all of this "garbage" comes from.  Just curious.

I edited a file in  /etc/ that I want to save, but forgot to open it using sudo. I remember there was a command to save such a file in vi, and want to know if there is any such way to do it in nano?  Thanks.

My GUI does not work. I can only see a text terminal. I would like to send my logs to  but I don't know how. Without a graphical interface, I am lost.   Is there any way to submit a file to pastebin without needing any GUI?

Is there a good  (free telnet / ssh client) equivalent for OS X?  I know that I can just use terminal and an ssh command, but I want some sort of application that will store connection info, passwords, logs, etc for me, much like PuTTY.  Does this exist?

I am moving some 20Gb within my local network (100 Mbit/sec). The files are from a typical Linux desktop system.  Would compressing them using Tar\Gzip and then sending them improve performance?  EDIT: I'm moving a Developer's workspace, meaning lots of source and PDFs, and not much multimedia.

I regularly find myself wanting to copy a file from remote terminal session to my local machine. Usually I log out of the remote session and call an scp transfer from local to copy the file from remote to local. But this feels a little long winded. I would like to transfer the file whilst logged into the remote over SSH to save time. My local machine is connected to the internet from a dynamic IP range so I'm never quite sure how to connect to it remotely. But surely, as the remote session originates from my laptop, there must be a shortcut in scp to get back to my laptop... Right?
