Thanks. I forgot to tell exactly what I wanna do. I use FreeBSD, and I
have my work on simple IDE HDD, formated as UFS. I want to take my work
wherever I want, to hook up the drive into a Windows XP machine of another
person, and grab the files. The only thing I'm doing so far is setting up
a remote access using a FTP account, but it always takes quite some time
to download. Samba would not work, as you need 2 computers...
I'm more looking for a plugin that would "translate" UFS to a readable
format on Windows, instead of looking like it wasn't formated.
