So you want to scp a file from the server that you've SSH'd into back to the N900, right?

Sounds like you've got it right. Just execute:

scp <target file name> user@<n900's IP address>:/path/to/target/directory

What's the problem with doing it like this?

You said: "but it's not what I want, because I should know also the ip address of the n900."

I don't really understand this statement. Are you having a problem because you DON'T know the N900's IP address?

I think this might be a language barrier problem because I can't really understand what you are trying to say.
