With my luck, it > will have ftp but no put or get Are there any good IDE ports on the box? If FTP doesn't work then the easiest thing would be to plug in an old IDE drive and just do a cp. You could use the CDROM IDE port if nothing else is available.

I was hoping to avoid > having to set up ftpd on the new machine. It will be easier that trying to get a version of ssh running on the old system. Given its age, finding a compatible binary might be close to impossible and unless it has all the stuff needed to build ssh, it may not be possible to build ssh for it. Since it almost certainly has both tar and ftp, the easy solution is just install ftpd (vsftpd) on the new box (this will be trivial, since a stock binary is available for CentOS 5.5). > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller(a)deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
