There are a number of ways. One of the ways I like is to use ssh. Install ssh-server (or openssh-server is what the rpm is I think) and to copy a file from one machine to another do something like this: scp local_file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:destination/directory/ or reverse the syntax to copy from the remote machine to the local. If one of the machines is a windows box it might be harder to get an ssh server installed on it, but you can just put the ssh server on the linux box, get winscp for your windows box and you have a nice gui for transferring files between the two. Bryan P.S. has anyone seen a nice gui for using scp (like winscp) for linux? I've tried gftp, but it seems to want an sftp server to connect to. Why can't it just use ssh/scp like winscp? _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
