Is there some reason you're trying that instead of scp or ftp or samba or ...? My approach would be to install putty on the windows machine and then run pscp from the windows side. > If I put a Linux partition on the Windows box, would it be easier to > network? Currently, I've had a lot of trouble. If you mean turn the windows machine into a dual-boot machine and then boot it into linux, then yes, rcp should work. If you mean creating a linux partition on a machine that's still running windows, then no, all you've done is add another drive to the windows machine (more or less). And, of course, I would be remiss if I failed to note that rcp/rsh/rlogin is really insecure. scp/ssh is a much, much better idea, especially if you're on the open internet. -Steve
