No doubt.

I'm not sure what setup you've got over there, but as I understand it, you are
simply wanting to transfer files from one PC on your LAN to another, right?

You can use scp (part of the ssh suite), or perhaps pscp.exe (see PuTTY's
webpage) if one of them is a windows box. Or you could set up an ftp server
locally. Or samba. Or you can use netcat.

Hmm... by "never succeeded in linking my computers" do you mean they can't
talk to one another?

Hopefully you'll figure out your floppy problem, though...
