Hi Martin, In addition to what Duncan writes: I think winscp does exactly what you want. You can copy objects from/to linux, but also edit files from linux on the winduts machine without explicitly copying (of course you do copy the file, but is done automatically). Bye Frans

Use save() and load() to create and read binary files containing the objects you want to exchange. Use scp to move them between systems. (Or sftp, or something else to move files.) > > Are there R packages who help to establish ssh connections? Not that I know of. You just use the command line utilities via system() or shell(). > Can I also connect to the server via the R gui? Not with base R. There are some front ends written by others that do this, e.g. RStudio.
