The kermit solution works (at the equivalent of 2400 baud) so you can imagine we're looking for a quicker method. I'll try it with uuencode - something like this if I understand you : uuencode filename.zip Now turn on the local PC's capture log... cat filename.uue Save the capture log as filename.uue uudecode filename.uue (on the local machine) Seems like it should work just fine - thanks! -+- OLMS 2.5p UNREG --- * Origin: Community Access Courtenay, BC +1 604 338-4597 (1:3412/1112) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 176 UNIX Ref: CBD00000 Date: 07/02/95 From: TIM VAUGHAN Time: 02:56pm \/To: ALL (Read 13 times) Subj: freeware UNIX Hi all!

Would there be much difference between NFS and FTP? And Yes! there is.... > how would RCP > compare?.. Well a 2801664 byte file , between a HP9000 G40 and a Motorola UNIX box (their RISC one...) took FTP 14 secs (not incl initial interactive connection setup) ~198Kb/s RCP 12 secs (incl connection setup) ~233Kb/s It should be noted that the FTP time includes the spawning of a seperate process in order to improve speed...Obviously over 50Mb this would be significant. NFS does run faster still but I dont have a time for this as yet. > I have a token ring network and was getting around 600kB/s when > transferring a 50MB file between two machines, connected over a > LAN Server network. Is this a decent speed or could I do much > better by changing a few things? Seems a good time...NFS should be much faster as it has been written to perform bulk data transfer constantly whereas FTP/RCP have been written for one-off file transfers.

Well without writing a shell script to do this try this.... touch /.ffile find / -name "*" -exec grep -i whatImlookingfor {} /.ffile \; This then does the job!! - You dont have to use /.ffile - all you need is a very short file which *doesnt* contain your search string... whilst this slows the fgrep down slightly you get the result. Does this help??
