Linux and data storage?

[Sina Bahram]

Hi Janina,

Actually there very well could be a Windows equivalent; not that I'd really
care if there is or isn't.

I wasn't suggesting that Windows was in any way, shape, or form needed here.
I said that there was a windows tool, which I mistakenly at first called fxp
rather than Flash XP. Then someone pointed out that fxp was the
protocall...and I sent a message asking for a Linux use of this so that she
can get her transfer complete.

In short...i've tried to be helpful, while you have in two separate emails
offered help in conjunction with criticism towards me for my suggestion,
which I did point out quite humbly, and secondly offered an extremely
immature and unbecoming attitude.

I do appologise to Karen for Janina's attitude. Karen, I wish you the best
of luck in getting your data transferred.

Take care,
Sina

If you have ftp access on two machines, forget Windows, and just log into
one. Launch a good ftp client like ncftp, start the transfer, and go to bed.

You certainly don't need Windows.

PS: If you use ncftp you could even use bgget (or bgput) to run the
transfers in background, which means you could log off and your files would
still get transfered.

Now, does Windows have that? Huh, Sina?
