Can anyone one tell me how to do this.

I have Linux set-up on an old mac (with no ftp access), and I want to
be able to transfer files between this and OSX.

I have been able to change files via VI and the SSH command, but not
sure how to copy files across.

Any help would be great, Thanks.

Use the scp (secure copy) command. The basic syntax is

scp file username[at]remote.machine:/path/where/you/want/it

The man page (man scp from a terminal window) will give you more detail
that you probably want...take a look at the -r flag for recursion, which
will let you move entire directories rather than file-at-a-time.

From Linux to Mac OS X, try using sftp which should already
be ready to go on your Mac.

Thank you both for these answers, I will try and see which one works for me.
