The file transfered will reside in the directory when you CD-ed into in the command window. (on the Mac)

The Mac has the nasty habit of renaming a transfered file.
So you may find your transfered file has a .txt suffix aftertransfering it to your Mac.
If this happens, you need to:
1. Open a command window on your Mac
2. cd to the folder where the file resides
3. Use the mv command:
```
mv oldFileName newFileName
```
  to rename the file back to its original name....
