Two separate machines is trivial - share=20 a directory on the Win machine and use smbfs on FBSD to get to it. For same machine, boot FBSD, and do a mount with -t ntfs as an arg .... well, I don't recall if 6.4 supported this or not, now that I think about it. One-time or frequent transfer? There are tons of other options, especially if you're running separate machines. Not all of these are elegant, but they all will work and have their place for infrequent transfers: - Email the file to yourself from one OS and retrieve it from the other. - Copy the file to a thumbdrive - Copy the file to a private website which can then be subsequently retrieved by another machine/OS image. -------------------------------------------------------- Well my book (absolute BSD) yes its old, says: "writing to an NTFS partition may corrupt the partition" - I'm guessing thi= s is not the case anymore and to answer your question;=20 1. Its 2 separate machines=20 2. As a security standard I have disabled flash drives in the office=20 3. It will be a monthly taks 4. No web access on the bsd box
