After generating ssh key. I tried to copy the public key into the clipboard by following the instruction so that I can add into my account.
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | clip

but getting this error.

You have a couple of issues here. Firstly, you're clearly using a linux guide on a windows machine. Windows uses backslashes for file paths, not forward slashes. Secondly, cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | clip is a linux command, you want to use type C:\Path\to\file.pub | clip to achieve the same thing. Windows also doesn't support ~ for referencing the user's home directory.
You may have issues other than this, since you're not following a windows specific guide.

I'm currently practicing basic Shell Commands in WSL, Windows Subsystem for Linux (I do not have a linux system but I want to get familiar with commands).
I start a bash session on the command prompt window and navigate to my desktop using cd . In desktop I noticed that after using ls -lF some files with the prefix ~$ appear, such as: '~$executable.x'* or '~$file.txt'
These files are not currently present under the desktop directory, but I was able to remember that they were at one point (varying from a week to months ago).
When I do the same process in powershell windows (not using linux commands) I noticed that files displayed match the desktop and no extra files are listed.
I was wondering if anyone could explain what ~$ means in this context? my intuition is telling me they are backed up files that are somehow hidden in the desktop. After googling, all I could find is that ~ reefers to the home. I also understand that $ is the default prompt symbol for the bash shell when it is waiting for me to type something, but I'm still confused on why it would show up as a prefix for the name of a file.
Hope I made my question clear.
I'm currently reading "Linux® Command Line and Shell Scripting BIBLE" by Blum and Bresnahan but I could not find an answer there, this is my last resource after many googling attempts. Any other source for more information on the topic would be helpful.
On Windows, files that start with ~ are used for hidden files. More specifically,, the prefix ~$ are often used as backups for programs, should they crash before writing updates to a file (e.g. Microsoft Word, etc.)
From Wikipedia:
The tilde symbol is used to prefix hidden temporary files that are created when a document is opened in Windows. For example, when you open a Word document called “Document1.doc,” a file called “~$cument1.doc” is created in the same directory. This file contains information about which user has the file open, to prevent multiple users from attempting to change a document at the same time.
See: Why does Word make temporary files?

I use Secure Shell as a Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo?hl=da)
Now I have finished some programming and I need the file on my computer.
How can I transfer the file to my computer? Can I send it by email or something?
I have tried yanking all the lines in vim, but I still don't get it copied to my windows clipboard.
One entertaining (and moderately ridiculous) approach would be sprunge.
Run this on the remote machine:
cat myFile | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
And then visit the URL it prints on your local machine. :D
I presume that you are using Windows OS and trying to download your file from a Linux like OS.
You use MobaXterm and it comes with a file transfer features.

On a CLI you can use "scp" to download and upload.
Another one is you can also use FileZilla using SFTP protocol
First of all, I would like to apologize if I'm on the wrong stackexchange network, and secondly, sorry if I'm overlooking something simple.
I was moving files from my old hard drive from an old PC when I came across several password protected ZIP Files. However, since those files were a bit old, I forgot the passwords already. I tried every password I could come up with but I still came up empty. After several google searches, I found this tool/utility for Mac OS X that could help me. So I go to the downloads page and download the Mac OSX utility tool and the source code.
However, I am having problems executing the make command for the file. It says on the downloads page:
If you are using linux or another unix, you need to download the source code, uncompress it and type "make" to compile the utility.
So far, what I've tried is
$make /Users/myname/Downloads/aapr-0.01-source/Makefile
I have also tried the other files in the source folder but nothing worked. After that, I'm pretty much blank. I tried double clicking the aapr file in the utility download for Mac (which is a Unix Executable) and it opens a new terminal window displaying the commands and such. Also, doing $aapr [options] [filename] only shows me -bash: aapr: command not found. I also updated XCodes command line tools.
Sorry if I'm missing out on something very basic, I don't usually use the terminal on the OS X.
Try running
cd /Users/myname/Downloads/aapr-0.01-source
make
A Makefile contains rules for building files from other files but it is based on paths and contents, etc. which depend on your current location. So generally you need to be in the directory of the project for it to work.
Edit (copied from my comment):
To execute a command from a specific location (that isn't in the normal $PATH) you need to specify a path for it. So something like /bin/bash or ./aapr (where ./ means the current directory).
I know that , we can copy files from host to another from mac using finder/smb protocol.
But I would like to copy files from mac to windows machine using command line. so that, I can call the same pro-grammatically.
Could anyone please guide?
If you can copy the files using the Finder then you have connected to the SMB share. Usually, you can see this from the command line by looking in the /Volumes folder; if it doesn't look like it's there, try running the mount command to see other places things might be connected. The following assumes the SMB is mounted in /Volumes, adjust as necessary for your particular case.
On the command line, issue the command:
ls /Volumes
You should see the SMB share listed along with some other names.
Then to copy files to it:
cp myfiles/* /Volumes/MySMBShare/mydirectory
If the name of the share has spaces in it you will need to escape them with backslashes like so:
cp myfiles/* /Volumes/My\ SMB\ Share/mydirectory
I have a shell script that mounts an smb share. It works perfectly on all macs with every OS revision except 10.7.5
The offending command is simply:
mount -t smbfs -o nobrowse //test:test#servername/sharename /my/mnt/point
When I attempt this command on a 10.7.5 mac, it fails either with a "broken pipe" or "authentication failed" error. However, it works fine on macs running 10.7.4, 10.6, 10.8 etc.
Can anyone successfully use this command on 10.7.5?
Is there any alternative way of achieving this, or troubleshooting exactly why this error is happening? I'm running out of ideas!
Since feature requests to mark a comment as an answer remain declined, I copy the above solution here.
Thanks for the replies. The problem was two fold: firstly, for some reason you cannot run this command as root in 10.7.5, and secondly you cannot mount outisde of /Volumes. Strangely this seems to work in all other OS revisions. I have worked around this problem by mounting my share in /Volumes and then creating a sym link to the desired mount point:
mkdir -p /Volumes/share
sudo -u localadminuser mount -t smbfs -o nobrowse //user:pass#server/share /Volumes/share
ln -s /Volumes/share /location/that/I/prefer/to/mnt
I hope this helps someone out. No idea why 10.7.5 changes this. – BSUK
There are many reasons why the mount will not work. Some of the reasons include:
Time between server and client being too different
Workgroup name not specified on the mac
Local hostname uses non-latin characters
Encryption is too strict between the mac and the server
To solve the time; set the time.
I've seen broken pipe/authentication errors most often when you don't use a workgroup name for the connection. A connection string looking like generally works better than one without any workgroup:
//WORKGROUP;user:50000#192.168.2.1/Share
... assuming that the 50000 is the password for the user user should allow the connection. Generally, you just need to have a string before the semi-colon, it can read anything; it just needs to be there.
To solve the local hostname issue click on an interface, choose advanced go to the WINS tab and make sure that the name doesn't have any foreign characters there.
If the encryption is too strict, you will need to edit the nsmb.conf. I have a set of lines looking like:
[server1]
minauth=none
for an ancient BSD server which cannot deal with encrypted passwords. You can have this in either an /etc/nsmb.conf or ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf file.
This may not address your issue, but it may help you in trying to proceed.
Unfortunately, saying it works on box x and not on box y doesn't really help, as there could be any arbitrary configuration difference between them.
