You will also need the root password, which you should set up when installing ssh.
Then, it's just a matter of navigating to the 2 directories and copying the files over. You can also chmod (change permissions) right from filezilla by right clicking on the files once they are copied over.

I don't think it really matters if you copy getpass.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages or /usr/lib/python2.5. I think python probably looks at both folders internally for any dependencies it needs.

thanks for your input. i installed both filezilla and openssh client and server. however, it hasn't asked me to set up a root password, so i'm a little stuck now. and looking at filezilla, will it ask me to set up a username as well? or is the username the name of the device?

The external memory card files are in
/media/mmc1
so
cd /media/mmc1
thank you. after typing in cd /media/mmc1 it goes from ~$ to /media/mmc1 $
and when i try typing in sudo cp youtube-dl /usr/bin/ it gives me
cp: cannot stat 'youtube-dl'? No such file or directory
so i'm still a little stuck. but in the meantime i'll be reading the article you sent me, thanks
