At first blush, wouldn't your (new?) ubuntu box become the..
'client' (my bad) - 6.10 - where the files will be sent _to_ (the new box).

The ready means of transfer are probably quite simple compared to the method you seem to be employing.

What is the O/S of the old (host, now 'server') box please?

- Not quite clear on your network tasks yet.

HOwever when I use "/ubuntu *(ro,sync,no_root_squash)" and "/home
*(rw,sync,no_root_squash)"

I get the following
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/gvm# /home ******(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I have just purchased a new (second hand) computer and want to
transfer the files from the old computer to the new.

So you are wanting to send - serve / 'host' - the files _from_ off of the old 6.06 box?

We're just clarifying the job you're doing, in order to specify the simplest means.

You seem to be using a difficult/outdated technique.

Cheers
