===== Tips =====

  * You can can copy files over with scp.<code>scp [file path] [user]@[host]:[destination path]</code>
  * You can also use wget to download things from the WWW. Leave the '-O [destination path]' out to just download to the current folder.<code>wget -O [destination path] "[file path]"</code>

===== IRC =====

FIXME((Add guide to tunnelling SSH session so you can use the IRC channel when not logged in))

Best bet with IRC is to use something like [[wp>GNU_Screen|Screen]] or [[wp>Tmux|]] so you can still access the chat when you're not logged in.

So first thing is to start Screen and Weechat:

  screen chat

You may also want to set the timezone to match your local time, rather than the server's time. you can use the 'TZ' environment variable for that:

  TZ='Australia/Melbourne' screen chat

Once you're in sign into the channels you want, then press Ctrl+a then d to 'detach'. (Typing screen -r will reattach, screen -ls will list all sessions).
