Re: transfering files from 2 computers
Get ssh working on the computers and connect and make sure that you have a
network working between them (try ping or similar).
Then use:
tar cvf - <directory/file> | gzip -9 | ssh <ip_address/name> tar -zxf -
on the computer with the directory/file.
What this does is to tar the directory/file, pipe it to gzip for compression
and then pipe it using ssh to the other computer where it is uncompressed to
its original state.
Good luck.
