I tried doing scp between two machines on my LAN. It whizzed along at great speed for a long time, mostly displaying messages over and over saying either something about permission (denied, I presume), or else about too many levels of symlinks. What I use it for is GPS/map software -- legacy proprietary stuff from Garmin and Maptech, to which I have added a lot of personal data collected over the last dozen years with my GPSs. I'm running Fedora 11 Preview on the target machine at the moment, and have failed even to install the legacy programs; there seem to be parts of Wine that I don't have yet; but the full release is due out in a week, and I'll try again after that. What I want most, of course, is all that personal GPS data; transferring from one GPS after another is tedious. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

My wine is in / home/btth -- so can I just c&p the above, tilde and all? Or do I need to spell out my home directory? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

Or do I need to spell out my home directory?"~" tilde is a standard shell expansion for a home directory. If you haven't move your WINEPREFIX (default ~/.wine) then you can copy and paste those commands as-is, replacing the "new_box" of course. What that means, when you use "~" anywhere in the path, shell automatically replaces (expands) it with the full path of your home directory. Unless of course the path is quoted. Then you should use $HOME instead. Ex: Code: $echo ~ /home/vitaliy $echo "~" ~ $echo "$HOME" /home/vitaliy $echo '$HOME' $HOME

It open to the home directory for your user. Type in 'ls -a' without the quotes. Look for a directory named after the program or with Garmin in it. This would be the directory you need to copy to the new machine. Let us know if you find such a directory. Thank you James McKenzie
