Hi ALL
How do i select the entire contents of the file using vi to copy and
then paste it to the other file
For example
vi copy --- > select the entire contents on one machine
vi paste ---> paste it on the second machine
Two methods seem to occur to me:
1. scp - the file between machines.
2. ssh to the other machine in one window. Open a file in that window.
Open the original file in another window. Select what you want
using the left mouse button. The copy it into the file on the
remote machine using middle mouse button.
