- Can some one recommend a more efficient procedure for accessing a mounted,
- MSDOS formatted floppy from a remote machine. Using rcp results in an I/O
- error. I have tried to NFS mount /usr/floppy on the remote machine, but the
- directory is always empty.The only method that seems to work is to rlogin to the
- local machine, copy the files from the floppy to the local machine, then remote
- copy them to the remote host. I am currently using a Indigo XS/XS24 with a SGI
- 3.5 inch internal floppy drive. We are running IRIX 4.0.5F.
