For almost all commands you can have the syntax by using the man command.
So please open a terminal and type:
man scp
Hth
Example:
scp remoteuser@

You can also mount a remote pc filesystem using ssh by configuring the connection,
using the menu Places→Connect to server [ssh]
Then you can access to remote pc using Nautilus file manger

Might be useful to know the ip address of remote pc discover it type on remote from terminal ifconfig
Example on a local area network:
ifconfig on remote pc get:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:fc:74:af:2d
indirizzo inet:192.168.1.98 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Maschera:
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:66702 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:32111 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Byte RX:56575971 (56.5 MB) Byte TX:3967227 (3.9 MB)
so the remote pc ip is 192.168.1.98
to connect remote pc (the remote pc must have the openssh-server package installed ) to install on remote pc type:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
and started, to start type on remote pc:
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
Then from your local pc you can type:
scp remoteuser@

Then you can local mount a remote filesystem via ssh installing (locally) and using the sshfs package
Description: filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol
sshfs is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since
most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e.
on the server side there's nothing to do. On the client side mounting the
filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.
sshfs is FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace).

Tags: admin::filesystem, interface::shell, network::client, protocol::ssh,
role:
to mount a remote filesystem using sshfs the syntax is sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options]
So you can mount the remote filesystem by typing:
mkdir $HOME/remotessh
sshfs rometeuser@
give the remote user password
Then you can the mountpoint listed into your local mounted filesystem mountpoints, type:
mount
And to access it from terminal type:
cd $HOME/remotessh
then to umount it type:
cd
sudo umount $HOME/remotessh
