Hi, I may have missed some earlier correspondence on this and from what I gather, you want to move a mountain to build another mountain. Two ways spring to mind. I assume you are unixified. 1. mount a file system for the scsi device via mount /dev/scd?? <mount point> on machine 1. OK, this is vague. You will need to fiddle to find an entry in /dev that will work. 2. The other easier method is via ethernet and a cross-over cable. o You will need to manually change your network settings temporarily. Choose an IP address for machine 1., e.g. 128.250.58.177. o Set the other machine IP address to 128.250.58.178. Just make sure the domain part matches. o subnet mask 255.255.255.0. o The target machine should be set up to allow remote connections etc. o ftp, rsync, or rcp from machine 1 to 2. Method 2 will also work for Windoze and computers with real OS's.I have a cross over cable here. You are most welcome to borrow it.
