People might be able to uncover some old protocol, like TFTP. What compilers and/or scripting languages are installed? Do you have perl? Gnu C? Look at /etc/services and perhaps something like /etc/init.d, /etc/xinit, or (let me think) /etc/initd.conf. What about xmodem, kermit, UUCP, tip, and serial-port-based protocols? 20 years ago we packaged shell scriptins in "shar" format. The only tool needed to unpack the file was sh. I've used uuencode to convert a binary file into ASCII, and then used screen capture (i.e. script, cut/paste) to move files around. Heck, you can do uuencode on a file, and then transfer it by doing cat >file and then pasting the file in your terminal window. The use uudecode to convert back into binary. Otherwise you have to move the files using either manual means (USB disk, Floppy, CD-rom, external disks, sneakernet).

But it is still basically a terminal emulator.

I may be wrong but I suspect he does not have room on his trive to tar up all of the data directory. Thus he would have to pipe the tar, or tar each file individually and send it and erase it. Ouch. |
