I have two sun boxes and how do I transfer a file between two sun boxes
without a router in between ? Using a direct cable.
Which type of cable I should be using ?

machine 1__}-----------{___ machine 2

I have QGE-X card installed which has four interfaces
and am trying to transfer file from ce1 interfaces of machine 1 to ce1
interface of machine 2.

Thanks
Aravind

just a subset of possibilities:
nfs, ftp, rcp, scp, sftp, uucp, mail, ...

I would suggest starting at docs.sun.com and read everything.

Your question is by far to unspecific to give more concrete answert.
Do you have your network up and running?
What about name-services? What are your requirements for copying?

Oh ok let me explain.
One end of the cable is connected to machine1 and other end of the
cable is connected to machine2.
So you see it's a direct connection without any router/switch in
between.
I am not been able to do a ping from machine 1 to machine 2.
It's a cross cable which is connecting both.

Am wondering if there is some other configuration required here.
After the ping is successful i must be able to do a ftp.

Hope it helps.

Are the machines on the same IP subnet with the same netmask???

Yea. Two machines are on the same subnet.

10.193.5.5 and 10.193.5.6

what do "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -r" say on both machines?
what is the errormessage you are getting when trying to do
an ftp or whatever?

You need a crossover ethernet cable for a direct connection between
two servers.
