Re: Transfer data between two comps without network
| Welcome,
| my problem is that I have to transfer large amount of data (20~50 Gigs)
| daily.
| And it can't be done via network due to 'secret' nature of that data.
Umm...how about encrypting it prior to sending it across the network.
I've used schemes such as piping data across an SSH process to achieve
this without having to encrypt the files on disk. In fact, that's how our
Amanda backup installation backs up all of our remote production servers.
Another thought, go out and buy yourself a couple of Lucent/Wavelan
ORINOCO Gold wireless ethernet cards. They'll do 128-bit encryption
between the two cards.
Just my $.02.

| I considered IDE disk put in hot-swap bay, but I found that's not the

| i got system on scsi disc, compiled ide-disk support as module

| then swap the discs, modprobe ide-disk, mount it.
| That scheme works ... but sometimes it fails.. and when it fails I have

| Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
