[plug] USB A-A laptop to desktop both running Ubuntu

[Richard Meyer]

Dave,

The easiest way I've had is to connect the two with a Cat-6 cable
(assuming they both have ethernet perts) and scp or rsync will work.

Most ethernet ports don't need a crossover cable any more. You will
probably have to them static IP addresses, though.

HTH
