You can transfers files between systems, (in the absence of an XS
server), using a light weight web server such as boa
To install boa on the XO:
su -
yum install boa
If you want more details on how to configure boa let me know and I
will post the instructions.
I use boa to pull log files off my XO.
Similarly you get get files off a MS Windows system using IIS.
Another email in this thread mentions the scripts for copying files
to and form the Sugar Journal.

Marco, I'm glad to have provoked a laugh, I was indeed joking. I
don't even know you.
I agree with Martin -- I thought he didn't write anything
offensive. I will follow your advice, Edward, Tomeu.
So to stay on topic,
1) I understand that there is in fact an easy way to transfer files
between XOs with a USB (which I believe is necessary per the
conditions in Mongolia - people living in mobile yurts, even in the
largest city and the capital etc. as explained). In the future, if
one day the network is universal, and the mesh works etc. I can see
why we wouldn't need it.
2) I understand that sugar might not have been intended to work
with other OS's, and should be thought of as an educational tool
meant for children instead of a general all-purpose laptop computer.
But I also think, since this is a significant investment for many
people, referring to my original example of a teacher typing up a
reading (from a book let's say, or a handout) on a regular
computer s/he already has back home, and being able to transfer
files back and forth on an Xo so s/he can distribute it to his/her
students.
Thus, to fulfill its educational mission, Sugar cannot be a closed
box.

Deniz,
this list if composed by people from all around the world, some of
which have had contact with some cultures, others with other cultures.
What we have in common is the desire to build a software platform that
others can use to learn themselves and to teach others.
As we have the wish that our work is universally used, we'll need to
teach each other how is life in every part of the world and how we can
better work so it serves best everywhere. Mikus hasn't been afraid of
showing his ignorance about how USB sticks are used in Mongolia and
you have kindly replied with an useful explanation.
I hope we can keep sharing experiences like this but with a bit less
of animosity.
Regards,
Tomeu
