The CP SEND command is a one-way message protocol. You could use it in theory to construct a file at the other end by commands (using "echo" and output redirection). But pretty painful. With Linux just connected to a VSWITCH you could have a network connection to another guest without a physical network. With that in place you can do UFT or NJE. As long as the TCP/IP stack in Linux is at least configured and operational. Another approach would be the Linux "Unit Record" drivers that let Linux read a set of cards from the virtual card reader. From VM you put a deck of cards in the virtual reader with the PUNCH command (or SENDFILE if you're willing to write a NETDATA decoder in Linux). Or from another Linux guest even. If the Linux guest is not even up, I prefer another guest to grab the disks of the dead penguin and put the stuff there. But I understand that LVM causes some challenges in that area. If you play carefully, you can use a semi-shared disk outside LVM to transport the files. Rob
