scp /etc/ax25/fbb/fwd root@pentium:/etc/ax25/fbb/fwd
Is this sequence right ??. Yes, assuming that the 'fwd' is the file you want to send over

Think of it as doing 'cp' over the network, where you specify the dest machine as well as the dest directory and filename. Works the same in reverse, as well: scp user@othermachine:/etc/foobar.conf .
In case you don't like the syntax of scp, you can always use sftp. I like sftp, it's a little more staright forward with directories. cd, pwd for remote and lcd, lpwd for local you just keep track of changing directories on local and remote, just like ftp.
