Same machine or two separate machines? Two separate machines is trivial - share a directory on the Win machine and use smbfs on FBSD to get to it. For same machine, boot FBSD, and do a mount with -t ntfs as an arg .... well, I don't recall if 6.4 supported this or not, now that I think about it. One-time or frequent transfer? There are tons of other options, especially if you're running separate machines. Not all of these are elegant, but they all will work and have their place for infrequent transfers: - Email the file to yourself from one OS and retrieve it from the other. - Copy the file to a thumbdrive - Copy the file to a private website which can then be subsequently retrieved by another machine/OS image. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk [email protected] PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
