Errata for April 2003 Linux Magazine Column

• Page 38 (first page of article), left-hand column, third paragraph: the command

    scp -C afile foo:
    

  should have a dot (.) at the end:

    scp -C afile foo:.
    

  This dot is the relative pathname for the current directory -- which, for the remote scp, is your home directory on that host.
• Page 39 (second page of article), left-hand column, last paragraph: The next-to-last sentence is missing its closing parenthesis. It should read:

  (A here-document feeds text from the script file, line by line, into ftp, until the shell finds the matching pattern on a line by itself.)
