Copying Files from Mac OS Desktop to Password Protected Cluster

AI Thread Summary
To copy files from a Mac OS Desktop to a folder on a password-protected computer cluster, using the `scp` command is recommended for one-time transfers. For regular file transfers, `rsync` is a more efficient option, as it can synchronize files and handle backups effectively. Additionally, `sshfs` can be utilized to mount remote directories, allowing for easier file management. These tools provide secure methods for transferring files over the network while accommodating password protection on the cluster.

If you're looking to transfer files one time only, scp is your best bet. If you're regularly going to transfer files in this way (for instance, you may want to back up your work to another computer over the network, or perhaps you want to copy from your Mac to a server so that the work is available to other users) then I'd use rsync.

This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
