Plus if it's Linux, there's a wide range of software available to handle the task. I can suggest several RedHat certified support shops, but they won't work for free. This is not a tough problem. By now, if she went to the local Barnes and Noble and bought a decent Linux book, it'd be over and done...
If I can't figure out how to copy a file to a floppy, do you honestly think I could figure out how to connect a PC to a unix box? :)
A book would be good if I was going to be spending a lot of time with unix. But I only needed to do one little thing that I thought any unix expert would take 2 seconds answering. I had no idea how complicated copying 1 file would be. Hopefully my boss will have the sense not to take on any more work involving unix now that we don't have a unix expert anymore. :)
Thanks,
Michelle
