Then you can, from windows, open the network share just like any other network share, and drag-and-drop entire folders from FreeBSD to windows. Or you can do it backwards, I guess. Run samba on FreeBSD, share some directory on your windows laptop, mount the windows share from FreeBSD and using unix utils like "cp -r" to copy directories from FreeBSD to the share on the windows laptop. Or, get putty for the laptop, and use "scp -r" from the laptop to the bsd server. --Alex
