Hello, I was just wondering: If you have a laptop, and you have acces to a windows pc, would it be possible to make the laptop running linux pretend to be a usb mass storage device (making one directory in your filesystem look like the root of a harddrive to the windows pc). So in other words: Connect the notebook to the pc with a usb cable so that the notebook looks like a usb HD to windows. Does a driver for this exist (I've searched on the internet but couldn't find anything) and if not, would it be hard to create and what cable would be needed?
In case you're wondering why this could possibly be usefull: if you have acces to a pc where you can't change the network configuration (because you don't have admin rights) plip and ethernet won't help you. So if you want to transfer data to and from this pc to the laptop I think this would be an easy sollution (the question is off course, is it possible to implement, my knowledge of usb and kernel development at the moment is very small, but I'm willing to learn a lot if I know there is a reasonable chance on succes).
