Hi folks ! This question is a little off topic because it probably has to do with connecting two Windows machines so i'm sorry about that :)
Anyway, i'm trying to work out the quickest way to connect my notebook computer to a public computer (such as that in a library) and transfer some data from it. This particular machine has a USB port at the front (it's an Acer) and I was hoping there might be an easy way to plug in a usb cable then "download" some data onto the newly created "drive" without rebooting the computer or playing with the control panel etc. The best example i've seen of this is when you plug in a "USB Data Storage Device" such as a digital camera, immediately a new drive is created which could be selected from the browser's "save as". If the same could be done with a laptop and a special usb cable it would do the trick just fine ! Any other creative suggestions are encouraged but do remember that these computers are using "Intercheck" software to prevent access to explorer, cmd, control panel etc. I can't think of any other solutions however, perhaps a serial cable (although im guessing it would be harder due to lack of special software) etc .. i'm GUESSING that a USB cable is the best way to do this. Btw .. the data will be large, over 100mb. And please guys, I don't wish to rude but i'm not interested in any ethical discussions, I have permission to do this and it's a purely creative/experimental exercise anyway. Many thanks ! :)) Matt _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
