Just mount one machines drive on the other machine, using smb, then do a cp -a and wait.
Whats the problems with that? netcat can do some fine things too. -----Original Message----- From: Hamish McBrearty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 29 March 2004 3:41 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Moving a large amount of data Hi all Since my server crashed and burned rather spectacularly on Friday I've rebuilt it as a single boot Gentoo box. I've been able to get rid of some legacy stuff, but I have one thing left. I have a 120Gb hard drive that contains 27Gb of movies, music and a shared Portage tree. However, due to my using this when I was weaning myself off Windows it's a Fat32 partition. I'd like to make it something a bit more robust and secure like XFS or JFS. What would be the best way to move all of this data onto my desktop computer (the only one with enough space) and then back after I've reformatted the drive? Rsync? scp? Huge tar file? ------------------------------------------------- Hamish McBrearty MCSE MCSA Network Engineer Rangi Ruru Girls' School 59 Hewitts Road Christchurch NEW ZEALAND Ph 03 355-6099 Fax 03 355-6027 CELL 021 999770 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------
