Is there a reason you cannot use scp? Even with an old 766MHz I was able to image a 10gb hard drive with a chain of 'cat | ssh "cat > file"' in around a half hour over 100mbit. If you set up ssh keys you won't need a password and can thus automate it if required. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d-(--) s:- a--->?
