Another tip:  If you have two boxes connected (like I do--Win and Linux),
just save the files to the other box, i.e., the Win machine, and transfer
them later.
I also have my Zip drive connected to my Win machine since I can't for the
life of me make it work properly through Linux (one day I will though), and
FTP files between the two machines.
