RE: [PLUG] Large data transfer

Yeah, I would have suggested using SCP as well.

You can download the Putty version PSCP.EXE on the Windows machine -
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

And from Windows DOS prompt, run:

"c:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe" -r -C
username@linux.box.ip.address:/path/to/files c:\copy\files\here\

SCP does a secure file copy via the SSH protocol.

-r = recursive
-C = use compression

Do you have, or can you borrow or buy, a USB hard drive?  I picked up a
160GB USB hard drive at an office supply store for around $80 on
clearance some months ago.

If the two computers are close together, nothing beats a crossover cable
with something like scp3 on Windows.
