Question

[Big Brother]

I recently moved and seem to only have acces to the Internet via a
PC. Yes I could install a wifi router or I could install a FTP client,
but
I think it would be good for me to learn Unix beter so I downloaded Putty
and do not plan to use a client. But I could use the dos ftp client, but
will my shell work just as well?

On my shell I accessed my directory but cant seem to delete files
like rm "Picture 1.png" and other files with spaces. How can I? Also how
can I upload and download files using Putty to my desktop?

On my Mac I was so used to Fetch and Transmit and on my PC notebook I got
so used to Absolute FTP that I became very ignorant of Unix commandline.
But I figure that my ssh access will be just as good.

Thanks,

John

rm "Picture 1.png" should work. Check the permissions of the file and
the directory:
ls -l Pic*
ls -ld .

scp should copy files to and from the shell account.
