Is there a more elegant/less cumbersome way to transfer data between two physically very close computers ?
Assuming that both computers have Linux installed, you can use scp (Secure CoPy). If one machine has Windows on it, download pscp (PuTTY Secure Copy) from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html. scp <file to copy> <user>@<remote ip>:<remote path> Replace: <file to copy> with the filename of the file to copy. Wildcards accepted. <user> username on the machine you are copying to <remote ip> IP address or hostname of the machine you are copying to <remote path> Path on the remote machine you want to copy the files to. You can also do it the other way around: scp <user>@<remote ip>:<remote file> <local path> Replace: <user> username on the machine you are copying from <remote ip> IP address or hostname of the machine you are Copying from <remote file> Path and filename of the files (on the remote machine) you want to copy. Wildcards accepted. <local path> Path on the local machine you want to copy the files to. Hope it helps Albert -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
