I still think you'll need to setup a dummy user to get a lot of this to work. The ideas I'm having are:
Install Apache 2, this "should" be easy using apt-get or yum, whichever Knoppix uses. If this is going to be a permanent machine, would it be worthwhile to setup NFS? That might take a bit more setup and time though. Use rsync, this information might be what you're looking for: http://transamrit.net/docs/rsync/ http://aplawrence.com/Basics/rsync.html Scp or Sftp might do what you need too. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SFTP_Server_(chrooted,_without_shell) http://hal.trinhall.cam.ac.uk/support/scp/ On 3/26/06, Robert Citek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How can I server a large file (2+ GB) over a local network using > Knoppix 4.0.2CD? > > I've got an image of a Debian partition that's about 3.1 GB.
