Re: Transfer data between two comps without network
Dariush,
Assuming you are worried by people with promiscuous ethernet cards,
packet-sniffing. Put in a second NIC, run a crossover UTP? I assume the
machine's are close by. Hotswapping a hard disk seems risky, if you do it
daily.
On the other hand, if you are not CPU constrained, run PPTP or some such
encrypted encapsulation on the main network, between the two machines.
If none of the machines can be allowed on _any_ network at all, you could
probably try PLIP, to demonstrate that it really is non-tappable. I don't
think PLIP will take kindly to 50G a day, though. You did say 50G, not 50M,
right ;-)
