well hardware is the first thing that will bit you. Make sure you use a crossover cable or two regular (straight through) cables and a hub. for ip settings it doesn't really matter what numbers you use if there's only the two machines an example of how to do this part: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.1 up [EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.2 up then there's getting ftp running on the one you want files off of. I don't recommend ftp for this. Security isn't an issue assuming there's just this isolated network, but I'd still recommend ssh/scp. It's the simplest option as well (assuming you can get an internet connection to download the .deb files): [EMAIL PROTECTED] apt-get install ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] apt-get install ssh then to copy the files: [EMAIL PROTECTED] scp bar:/path/to/file [bar:/path/to/file2 ...] /local/path/ or for recursive copy of directories [EMAIL PROTECTED] scp -r bar:/path/to/directory/ /local/path if you have a different username on the remote machine use: [EMAIL PROTECTED] scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/file [bar:/path/to/file2 ...] /local/path/ HTH, Jon
