Disclaimer: I'm BRAND new to Maemo & Linux as a whole. Using an N900

Okay so I'm trying to restore my backed up contacts because somehow my contacts dwindled from 1308 to 174 and I'm lost regarding the following:

In the wiki it says to restore the address book, type the following into xterm:

Code:
cd /home/archive/mytablet/home/user/.osso-abook
scp -pr . user@mytablet:/home/user/.osso-abook
I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to put in the place of the "user@mytablet:" part

I think its just "user" but I'm not really qualified to "think" anything. I realize this is the OS2008/Maemo 4/Chinook - Diablo forum but I was unable to find a similar wiki for Maemo 5 so can anyone help me here? Or should I not use this method on the n900? Anyone?

Thanks in advance,
Sean
