Hi, If this is a one-time move, which I suspect it is. Then ftp is by far the easiest way. If there are no ftp-servers running on your machines(this will be self evident when you try to connect from the other machine), they are probably preinstalled, start it via the appropriate /etc/init.d/<script> and then run an ftp client from the other machine. gftp seems to come with many new distributions, plain ftp in a console works also (should always be installed). /Robert torsdagen den 30 oktober 2003 04.46 skrev Mark Knecht: > Hi, > I've got two Linux boxes, one Gentoo and the other PlanetCCRMA.
