| Hi all,
I have a laptop with FC2 on it. It has an ethernet connection
(wire) set to 192.168.69.2 There are two directories that I
need to save to another machine (no floppy, no burner). The
two directories on this machine are /website and /etc. So far
I have tried setting up samba with another Windows 98SE machine
but that was a disaster. I need suggestions (specific step by
step directions would be nice) on the EASIEST way to send these
two directories to another computer so I can copy them back
after I rebuild this machine (dual boot with W2000 and LC3).
Even if you could point me in the right direction I would be
eternally greatfull.
thanks,
charles......

| I think that the quickest way to your end would be to tar the directory into
a file, then compress the tarball(gzip, zcat), and then use ftp on the other
machine and ftp the file(s) to it ... assuming that they are on the same
subnet and connected.

Did you try to used Wedmin? It is a free administrative tool by using a
web browser. You could get this RPM package at:
http://www.webmin.com
Another way is using an FTP protocal.

I set up a W98SE box as 192.168.69.3 mask 255.255.255.0 and
workgroup = home and the laptop as 192.168.69.2 mask 255.255.255.0
and workgroup = home. The directories a need to save are on the
laptop with is running FC2. What do I have to do on the
Windows box so that I can ftp to it from the laptop? The D:
drive on the Windows machine is shared at the share level
I just can't "see it" or mount it from the Linux box.
thanks,
charles.....

Use of "ftp" does not require any shared directory. From the windows
computer, start-->run--> ftp 192.168.69.2<enter> You should be presented
with a prompt for a user name & password. You should then be able to
navigate to the Linux directory where the tarball is and use the "get"
command to retrieve the file.
man tar
man gzip
man ftp
