This command copies a file from your machine over SSH to a remote machine. Quotation marks are included to escape the folder name that has a space in it. Add -rp if you need to copy a directory:
r means recursive
p preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file
scp -rp /path/to/file-or-directory/ username@%hostname%:"/path\ to/destination"
My code-related goal for this weekend was to get my dotfiles symlink’d and uploaded to GitHub for version control. This article was excellent at helping me get it setup.
I had an issue come up at work and needed to remove the Dell KACE agent from one of our Ubuntu machines. I did some searching but couldn’t find the script via Google or ITNinja. I figured out the path, tested, and here it is:
sudo /opt/dell/kace/bin/AMPTools uninstall
Quick thoughts on working remotely:
My rMBP is mostly used in RDP mode - not using Apple’s hardware nearly at all for system administration due to a mostly Windows domain environment. Therefore, move to shell/RDP session for all sysadmin work for consistency . Maybe even move work-specific docs off the Mac and onto a server?

Two great articles from Scott Hanselman:
BrowserSync is a tool for injecting changes when working on your local site project and then refreshing your site on save. Perfect for designers/devs who need one tool for one job.
I couldn’t find any clear instructions on setting up BrowserSync with Jekyll alone (no Sass, no Grunt/Gulp) so here’s the command to get it working after you’ve gone through the install and you have changed directories to your projects folder root:
browser-sync start --proxy "localhost:4000" --files "_site/*.*"
This command will watch the entire _site directory rather then just your CSS folder. Note that you will still need to run the normal jekyll serve command in a separate Terminal tab or window, but your site will be viewable in the BrowserSync URL: localhost:3000.
