Uhm, portable hard disk drive, tape, removable-media drive (such as Zip/Jaz devices), a Local Area Network (either ethernet/wireless ethernet/whatever, or serial null-modem cable, or find a way to get win talking to PLIP), IrDA, split the file into a number of 1.4Mb files, and rejoin them on the linux machine. If you get a network up, you can use Samba + windows networking, FTP, windows versions of rsync/rcp, I think PuTTY/windows can interact with the OpenSSH v3 sftp subsystem. Unless you're never going to use a connection between the two again, probably writing the files to a CDRW is easiesr (assuming you have a CDRW drive, and spare media). Of course, you could always connect the Linux box to the Internet to download them... -- Regards, [EMAIL PROTECTED] My website: http://www.iain.thomas.dial.pipex.com/ _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
