I have Ubuntu 10.04 running thru VMPlayer. And I have another machine (Asus RT-N16 router). I am able to connect to the router with telnet and see its file system. How can I copy the file from local machine (file is /home/user/helloworld-c) to the router (folder */tmp/mnt/discb_1*)?

Is there possibility to connect via SSH? Maybe you should consider "scp" utitlity. It's very simple, look to the manual page:

man scp

The very basic usage:

scp remote_user@remote_host:/path/to/remote/file /path/to/local/file

and vice versa:

scp /path/to/local/file remote_user@remote_host:/path/to/remote/file

Thanks, it works! How can I do the same with the whole folder? – LA_ Sep 4 '11 at 8:47

Use "-r" option: scp -r user@host:/path/file /path/local. Please, mark the answer as accepted if it works. – Pavel S. Sep 4 '11 at 9:01
Just look to manual page for scp (in terminal, type "man scp"). There is a lot of more options. – Pavel S. Sep 4 '11 at 9:02
