If you can ping then the cards are set okay. You may need to set a default route, (man route) Keep it simple, use 'scp' to copy between boxes, 'man scp'. i.e. 'scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/user1/<file? \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/user2/'. You can eliminate the first user@ command by copying from the directory the file is in. - -- Greg Madden -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+ePblk7rtxKWZzGsRAglLAJ91NmvAFsFF3xQUZEcC83Ebktj3awCgzIf9 QwXEI6o6Femj4SqtcoS2f/E= =C62n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
