MacDevCenter: Tiger Terminal

terminal ftp
Somehow, I missed the first installment of this series, but in An Introduction to Tiger Terminal, Part 2, Mary Norbury-Glaser has put together a nice little walk through of some of the things you can do with the Terminal in Tiger: "In this second tutorial on Tiger Terminal, you'll learn how to use the terminal app to look at external volumes, then enable ssh to access files, scp to securely copy them remotely, sftp for secure ftp, and finally how to use rsync to synchronize files between two computers."

If you've never checked out the intricacies of the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities/), this might prove to be a useful starting point. Also, consider checking out our Terminal Tips here at TUAW.
 

Tip of the Day

To find out what version of Mac OS you are running, go to the Apple logo in the top left corner, click it and choose About This Mac. From that window you will see the version number, processor, memory and chosen startup disk. Clicking Software Update will check for updates, and More Info... will open up an extensive list of everything on your machine.
