The way I, and I think many, people are transferring file between the
Mol and Linux sides of their system is currently via FTP.
There is a program called "MacNFS" by Thursby that might solve that
issue ($149)? One would install it on the Mac side, and let the linux
side access a disk through NFS mount? Comments?
