Hi,
I know this is a dumb question, and I tried to figure it out from the
man pages, but I had no luck. I am at home and I need to retrieve a
Word document from my MacOSX machine at work. Suppose the file is
called junk.doc and that dummy at company.com is my email address. I can
ssh to my mac at work. Once I get there and cd to the correct
directory, what command line instruction can I give to email junk.doc
to myself as an attachment?
I tried sending a test message by typing: mail dummy at company.com
but I could not even figure out how to gracefully end the process.
When I typed ^Z, it stopped, but nothing was mailed. Thanks in
advance for any answers to this dumb question.
Gregg
