Ok, found out what the problem was (besides being a little out of it
from time to time), The problem was, I was trying to scp WHILE inside of
an ssh session. I didn't realize that scp ran on it's own, I thought it
was something to be used WITH ssh. Thanks for the help, it now works
great!

    Well, let's start with a few simpler basics.
    
    Can you correctly ssh to the machine?
    
    Can you scp a single file to /tmp?
    
    can you ftp multiple files to /home/peter (pending ftp daemon)?
