position of boxes in LaTaX

Take one kind of box for example, the minipage box.

\begin{minipage}[position]{width}

There are 3 options for "position" , namely , c, t, b, meaning centre, top and bottom correspondingly.
If 'c' is chosen, the vertical center of the minipage will be aligned to the baseline of the surrounding environment.
If 't' is chosen, the vertical top of the minipage will be aligned to the baseline of the surrounding environment.
If 'b' is chosen, the vertical bottom of the minipage will be aligned to the baseline of the surrounding environment.

Referencing to a float in LaTeX

With \label and \ref, you can create a reference to a float within
your text. Note that the \label command must come after the \caption
command since you want it to reference the number of the caption.

Using Chinese in TeXShop

\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}
...
\end{CJK}

copy folders in sftp

[from http://www.cae.wisc.edu/site/public/?title=linux-sftp]
Recursive Copy

If you try to copy a folder using the get or mget commands, sftp will complain that it "Cannot download non-regular file: filename". This is because the basic sftp client doesn't allow for a recursive copy. However, the program scp will allow you to do this. The scp command will not allow you to see what's on the sftp server, so the files need to be located using the sftp client.

Note: the scp command is a Unix command, and needs to be run from the Unix prompt. NOT within the SFTP client.

Usage: scp user@host:remote-path local-path

scp is like the Unix command cp and should work similarly. To copy a file from your Unix home directory and put it in the working directory, use the following command:

scp @sftp.cae.wisc.edu:~/ ./

Where is your CAE username, and is the file you wish to copy. Enter your password when scp asks for it. scp works just like a get command in sftp.

To recursively copy files or directories from your CAE account, use the -r switch.

For example, to copy the entire directory "tutorial" from my CAE Unix home directory to the home directory on your machine, the following command would be used:

ComputerName:~ # scp -r username@sftp.cae.wisc.edu:~/tutorial ~/

Where username is your CAE username.
