Any way to just open a file-mangler on both and drag files back and forth?
It's the only way I do it, mostly (sans mouse) using mc and fcl, which work with or without working GUI:
(man) nfs
for exporting native Linux filesystems (through /etc/exports), which can be mounted just like any other native mounting is done, using fstab entries or other methods for routine ones, and 'mount -t nfs' for the non-routine.
I like the mouse, and GUI, but the main problem that I see is the speed i.e. the LACK of any! Getting about 3 MB/s on a 80gb image file :-( Is your network hardware gigabit, or just "Fast Ethernet" (100Mb/s)?
it's wifi: 7 hours for an 80gb image, not what I had in mind :-)
the cheapest router I could find and a usually usb wifi adapter but on the laptop this was with the built-in onboard whatever only because I haven't physically cut its wires yet
Ok, that speed is normal for WiFi, depending on the age of the card and the router.
meaning 100 megabits per second, not megabytes per second. Actual speed about 10 MB/s or 10 mega bytes per second.
looks more like a half-breed, something between 5 MB/s and a dead dog, I had initially envisaged moving 2tb image files :-)))) will have to work down my expectations, or as eastwood would say:
Or use an external disk for doing exchanges. Mind, rotating rust speed can be in that range for some disks. 5400 rpm, connected via slow usb2... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
