conents of archive
" can use nfs for this. Just put the name of the directory from
which u want to copy in /etc/exports of src computer. "
Run/usr/sbin/exportfs.
On the dest. computer
typemount -t nfs m/cname:dirname mountpoint
And then u can use the directory of a remote m/c as it it was a directory
on ur machine itself. One more reason to love Unix. "
