The long way to go, and my first idea is to install samba, get that working. Then install the external hdd on a windows box, and transfer the files thru a network share with samba.
Have you tried at all to mount the hdd? It's just mounting a USB device, then going into the mounting point. ____ Alex Togstad Web Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Custom Built Servers the way you want them.

I need to get some log files off the box and onto the USB hard drive, so that I can transfer them to my main computer and eventually post them. Once I can post these files, they should help in diagnosing some problems with the Ethernet NIC and with the USB floppy drive. At this time, this appears to be the best strategy, as Xcdroast no longer seems to be able to find the Iomega Zip CD 650 that I could otherwise burn the files onto for transfer to my main box. This is getting to be a real mess, so any help is appreciated :-( Cheers, Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
