[CS-FSLUG] Copying laptop harddrive contents

[N. Thompson]

I'm not to good with my communication skills, I was just trying to say 
thanks for replying.
I did manage to get scp working using ifconfig, I had to reboot the 
laptop after all the work I had done, start the ssh deamon again and 
then get the ip with ifconfig.

Now however there is a problem with copying the files, not all of them 
will copy over because the connection breaks on the same file every 
time, I finally removed the file but scp still stopped on the same file 
despite it having been removed. The error message was fairly simple, as 
I recall all it said on dad's laptop was that the connection was broken, 
my computer told me nothing even with the -v switch.
