Hello All,
I need to transfer some files that I downloaded on my Mandrake
Box to
my Mac. I am running samba on both machines, so they can see
each other on the network. The problem I am having is, when I
open nautilus on my mandrake box and browse to the share on my
mac, the program stalls out.
I was wondering if there was a way to transfer files over my
local network from one machine to the next using the trusty
command line.
Thanks,

Sure - Assuming OSX since you said samba - use 'scp'
Requires you have ssh installed on your Mandrake machine. You'll have
to turn it on in the Mac sharing preference pane.
Then from the Mandrake box type (all one line)
scp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Users/mac_user_name/Documents/fileyouwant
/home/mandrake_user_name/Desktop
adjust the /path/to/file name as required
Use scp -r to transfer recursively

PS You could try using Konqueror instead of Nautilis.....
