Hello...

Is there some way to transfer files between two linux computers using a
parallel or serial cable? I'm trying to transfer ~1GB of data from a
notebook pc to my main linux pc. The notebook has no network card, no
scsi, and a non-removable hard drive...

Please reply to my email address; I may not see replies in the
newsgroup. :)

If I were you I'd start reading PLIP-HOWTO. To transfer 1Gb between the two
would take hours and hours anyway. You can have transfer rate about 20 kb/s
with plip, all other than real ethernet are even slower than that.

You can use either SLIP on serial-to-serial connection (you must
have a null-modem cable), or PLIP on parallel ports (never done
that one). The program for SLIP is slattach if I remember correctly.
You may even use PPP (program pppd), but I think there are no
advantages in this case.

uucp is designed to use serial lines for this process and far outperforms any
?IP protocol for this job.
