I should have read the man pages instead of the FAQ. There is something I am still missing. Would you post one of your script files? Mine, which does not work, is below. I can ping both computers from each other and share files and an internet connection but, after some time or when I try to force a move, all I get is broken pipe to the first program error. If I try to run on the local machine with -fh 192.168.0.1 this fails too. Perhaps something else needs to be running and listening? Any further help would be appreciated.
