Here is a better option, a SHELL script that will allow you to upload/download/delete files from the terminal;

Tested and works just great.

Ubuntu – copy with ssh with port other than 22

scp --help or man scp would have told you the option was -P port. You also need to declare this before the file arguments:

scp -P 2000 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remotebox.remotedomain.tld:~/.ssh/id_rsa_localbox.pub

I also wouldn't trust ~-relative links. Use full paths if you can.

But if you're copying IDs, ssh-copy-id also has an option to provide SSH connection options:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub '-p 2000 user@remotebox.remotedomain.tld'

Ubuntu – Using scp to copy files from remote to home machine

You do not need to specify your local hostname to scp a file from your university computer. What you need to do is from your home computer open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and type the following command:

scp myusername@university_computer:/home/myusername/file.odt /local/destination/path/

where /local/destination/path is the local path on Felix where you wish to store the file.
