Here is a
tex file for making mailing labels.
This has been around for a while, but I recently tweaked the spacing to
make labels suitable for photocopying onto Avery 5160 sticky labels.
These are 1" by 2 5/8", 3 column, 30 per page, and some are available in
the physics office. To make your mailing labels, insert your addresses
in the format shown in the file, then do "tex (filename)" to make the
labels.
Copying files to your current account (logan@fnal.gov) from another
account (logan@scipp.ucsc.edu) with the same login name:
scp scipp.ucsc.edu:spam1 .
This copies the file spam1 from the top directory of your account
on scipp.ucsc.edu into the current directory (.) and the new file is
also called spam1.
scp scipp.ucsc.edu:stuff/useless/spam2 spamfile
This copies a file in a subdirectory of your account on scipp.ucsc.edu.
The new file is given the name spamfile. Or, if spamfile is an existing
directory on your current account, the file is copied into the directory
with the name spam2, so that its path is spamfile/spam2.
scp -r scipp.ucsc.edu:stuff .
This copies recursively (-r) all the files and subdirectories in
the directory stuff; it dumps it all into your current directory
(in a new directory called stuff), exactly as if you had dragged the
folder stuff over on a windows-based system.
Copying files to your current account (logan@fnal.gov) from another
account (hlogan@si.ucsc.edu) with a different login name:
scp hlogan@si.ucsc.edu:stuff/picture.gif .
This copies the file picture.gif from the directory stuff over to your
working directory; the new file is named picture.gif.
