scp local_path/file_name_on_your_laptop your-SISSA-username@hostname:dest_path/new_file_name
For example: file_name jsmith@bluestar.ap.sissa.it:~/Desktop/
In that example:
scp file_name jsmith@bluestar.ap.sissa.it:~/Desktop/
the local_path is the working folder on your laptop, so it is omitted
the file_name_on_your_laptop is file_name
the your-SISSA-username is jsmith
the hostname (the name of your Sissa linux workstation) is bluestar.ap.sissa.it
the dest_path (destination pathname) is ~/Desktop/ and the file will be copied with the same name (so it is not present a new_file_name).
