I just did this the other day on a Windows XP box that was so full of
viruses and spyware that it was wholly unusable.
I put in a Knoppix CD and did something like this:
cd /mnt/hda1
tar cf - mydir | nc -v -w 3 -l -p <port>
and then on a Unix box on my LAN, I ran this:
nc <host> <port> |tar xvfp -
And transferred all the files. This works pretty much like the scp/ssh
solutions that others posted, but doesn't have the encryption overhead.
Use it on secure networks only, please.
hth,
Thomas
