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.

Subject: Implementing and mounting USB external HD on Deb 3
Hi again,
How do I implement and mount a USB external FAT formatted hard drive on a Debian 3 compatible system (Libranet 2.7) with KDE 3.x? 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
Actually Alex, come to think of it, your idea with some modifications, could work. After all, the important thing is getting the log files out at this point. Here is the idea - I have a BAFO USB to Ethernet adapter that works with the latest Knoppix CD. I can boot from that and access my e-mail account via the web. Now the problem is that Knoppix refuses to load KDE despite 256 MB of RAM available. Instead, it uses something called TVM manager, I believe. If I can at least mount the internal hard disk with the shell, then hopefully Mozilla can "see" the hard disk and I could browse to the /temp folder where the logs reside and post them as attached files that way. Can anyone walk a newbie through this process of getting Knoppix to mount the hard drive?
Cheers,
Brian
