I was wondering whether there might be an even simpler solution -- mounting an external drive via ssh for example (sshd is running on both machines, and wouldn't require any additional setup at all). Time is of the essence on Friday, and I won't have access to her machine before then, and wasting an hour on Friday trying to set this up and running into problems will be a disaster. Thanks for the help. Best, Darren -- ===================================================================== D. D.
