I think nothing is easier then to setup a guest share? Fire up your webmin, mkdir a folder and share it as GUEST ONLY and READ/WRITABLE and you're okay? Why care for users and security-stuff, if this is your home net and there are only two user who trust each other...? Well you can shoot birds with canons..... but..... ;oP If you want help with that, write me an email, no problem.... if you don't want help with that read on *laugh* There is another thing which will work, that's FTP....... You could setup an FTP-Server on sarge and then use ws_ftp or something similar from the ME-Box, simple..... it should also be possible to do a task schedule on the ME-Box, as ftp is also available as a command in the dos shell. That should be an opportunity if you don't want to use Samba...... I'm not quite sure if it's possible to use telnet, AFAIK only W2K and XP are able to use a telnet server as a service, so that won't work for you at all. Ah, coming back to samba another thing comes up to my mind. You could also try to use the smbCLIENT stuff only! That means you connect to a share on the MX-Box and copy it over from the sarge side, should also work. So you don't have to care about setting up a smb-server. Would that be an option for you? Hope that these are worth investigating for you :-) Simmel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
