Ethernet link 2 linux boxes to transfer big files ?

Post by Martin Mill » Wed, 07 Nov 2001 03:31:16



Hello!

I would like to know how I can link 2 computers using their ethernet
cards.

I don't need a network, I just want to transfert a couple gig from a laptop
to another linux box.

Any links to good information ?

Connect them using crossover cable, specify 2 different ip-s in same
subnet for them (like 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.10.2, netmask
255.255.255.0 or /24 if you like that one better). Thats it! (well,
usually :P)
Easiest method for transferring files is probably ftp as it mostly works
out of the box.

If they are RJ45 then a simple cross over cable will suffice.

Thanks, I'll try that !

And I just tought that i could maybee use my cable modem as a hub when
disconnecting the internet and running dhcpcd on both computers.

Anyways, it's easy so thanks!

1. ASCII File transfer over Ethernet to Mulitport Serial on Linux box?

Surely someone has tackled this type of task before but I'm unable to
find any docs to get me going.

I work in a machine shop and the machinery uses ASCII files to control
the machine movements. Currently we have the switch box setup to
select which Win98 computer sends/recieves to which machine. We'd like
to switch to multiport serial devices on a Linux server (where the
files will be stored for re-use) to eliminate the problems we are
having with the boxes (not a pleasant enviroment).

My problem is I'm a newbie to Linux (it took me a week to get the
ports to work) and I can't quite see all the pieces to this task.

Any advice or links would be appreciated
