Hi Janina, Actually there very well could be a Windows equivalent; not that I'd really care if there is or isn't. I wasn't suggesting that Windows was in any way, shape, or form needed here. I said that there was a windows tool, which I mistakenly at first called fxp rather than Flash XP. Then someone pointed out that fxp was the protocall...and I sent a message asking for a Linux use of this so that she can get her transfer complete. In short...i've tried to be helpful, while you have in two separate emails offered help in conjunction with criticism towards me for my suggestion, which I did point out quite humbly, and secondly offered an extremely immature and unbecoming attitude. I do appologise to Karen for Janina's attitude. Karen, I wish you the best of luck in getting your data transferred. Take care, Sina No trees were destroyed in sending this message; however, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 2:18 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Linux and data storage? If you have ftp access on two machines, forget Windows, and just log into one. Launch a good ftp client like ncftp, start the transfer, and go to bed. You certainly don't need Windows. PS: If you use ncftp you could even use bgget (or bgput) to run the transfers in background, which means you could log off and your files would still get transfered. Now, does Windows have that? Huh, Sina?
