How2 use extra box to: File > plip > USB-disk

Hi,
Is it possible to save a file from box-A to a USB-disk
attatched to box-B, by first transfering the file via plip
[ie. par-ports] from box-A to box-B ?

If so, what would the commands or scripts be, for the
2 boxes ?

Thanks for any info.

First you set up a network using plip. The ancient PLIP HOWTO at
http://www.tldp.org/ might be enough to get you up and running. The
kernel will see the plip network like any other network. So then you
could use NFS to share the USB-disk, or rsync or ftp or any other
network file sharing/transfer method.

Can you be more specific about which part is causing you problems?
(I.e., do you need more help setting up plip or more help with
transfering files across the network or ...?)
