hello list,
i have recently purchased a laptop with windows xp pre-installed
(obviously...). for various reasons i haven't wiped it out yet to install
linux. before i do that, i have some files that i need to transfer to and
from my desktop, which has an oldish lfs 5.1 (plus much of blfs, of course).
i really have no idea how i can do that, so my question is which methods can
you recommend (eth?, usb? parallel port?) and how can i learn to set up both
machines properly for the transfer?
best,
lj
Use an ethernet connection and for windows there is a program called
winscp which can use scp or sftp to copy files. Use putty for console
access. The *nix box should have ssh or sftp installed and working. You
can also just use telnet or ftp without installing any other programs on
your *dows box.
