    This is a short tip to show you how to transfer a file on a linux box to a windows box.

    1. First put FileZilla on the windows box, and create a user with a home directory, open port 21 if behind a firewall, and whitelist FileZilla in the windows firewall.
    2. SSH to the linux box, then navigate to the folder where your file is located.
    3. Type "ftp YOURIP", it will then prompt you for the user and password. See notes for help getting ip address.
    4. Then type "put YOURFILE.EXT" ... see notes for more commands
    5. Now the file should transfer to your windows box.
    6. When its finished just type 'bye' and hit enter and the connection will be closed.

  2. Gateway GM5626 and x64 Driver Issues

    It is my birthday today. So yesterday, I bought a Gateway GM5626 for $799 because I left Blast and needed a new computer.

    I get home and hook it up. Turns out it is running 32bit Vista, which is lame because it is not using its 64 bit processor to the fullest. Not a huge deal, but certainly a deal breaker for a power-user like myself. (more...)
