File transfer

[Maureen L Thomas <silverorbspinner@tampabay.rr.com>]

I bought a new Toshiba lap top and want to copy the files from my old 
Toshiba lap top to the new one.  They both have Debian, the latest 
version, so can I just hook up usb to usb and copy that way? If so would 
I need a certain command to do it?

Just a thought to make it easier since the old one's dvd burner no 
longer works.

Thanks
