Crossover cable connection between 2 computers.

[Mike Shaw]

Your looking at this little backward.  Once you have the network setup
between the machines any application you would normally use to
transfer files between two machines will work, i.e. ftp, scp, rsync,
nfs mount and copy, samba mount and copy, etc.  It sounds like you
don't have the network setup.  In order to get a serial link network
setup you might look at the Linux Documentation Project(www.tlp.org)
for details, especially the Serial How-to and the Network
Administrators' Guide.  You are going to setup either a SLIP or PPP
connection to get this to work via serial cable.

Good luck!
