I would like to install VNSTAT (http://torus.lnet.lut.fi/vnstat/) on the router to monitor network traffic. It has to maintain a database and I do not have nor want to use hard-disk in my router. I could add another floppy but I do not like the idea of write/read with floppy, very hardware error-prone. So I am thinking about being able to write and read to/from a remote machine.
I think Jacques has samba.lrp and I think I can use smbclient to mount a system from remote Linux or Windows. I never use smbclient, only smbserver, so just wonder if it is possible.
Thanks.
M Lu.

You could use sftp. sftp is basically FTP over ssh. That would get you to/from a Linux box. You could use Putty SFTP or some of the more GUI ftp clients are starting to support SFTP (CuteFTP, WS_FTP Pro (not LE)).
