there, just not mounted in the correct spot.
copying the files to external media will work just fine as
long as the user doing the copying (writing to the hard
drive) is the same user you want to be able to access the files.
How do I find and/or mount this?
I am sure there are better methods to work this out, but...
what does 'df' in a text console say, then compare to what (as root)
'cat /etc/fstab' and 'cat /etc/mtab' say.
As this is the newbie list, and as Joe Hill is about as
likely as a raindrop to tell you about 'fish', as it is a
'kde' box to 'kde' box gui for ssh, when used in a konqurer.
(heck he may not even have ever used it, as much as he
like/loves KDE desktops), you need to know the IP# of the
computer you wish to connect, but for me, with both computers
running a KDE desktop, if I type
"fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/var/www/puke" I am asked for
root's password to connect to on the box 192.168.0.100, and
after I supply the password, I am connected to /var/www/puke,
which since I am root, I can write to or read from. any files
or folders I copy over will be owned by root.
you can use any user and/or spot on the mounted file systems
that user would normally be allowed access to.
Didn't get much of that ;-)

in the last part, I am just talking about transferring files smaller
than 2 gig, using the konqurour file mangler GUI, across the lan. (files
larger than 2 gig can not be ssh'd/scp'd, as far as I am aware, so no
2.5 gig tar files will complete).
