My new laptop arrives this afternoon (woo hoo), I have never been in the situation of having two working laptops, normally one dies and I buy another :rofl:

Recommendations for the fastest way to transfer files from one to the other?

Probably rsync over a wired network.

2 things to remember -

  1. There is grsync as well for a gui route to rsync
  2. MOST important - either way you can do a ā€˜dry runā€™ to see that what happens is your intention!

I usually use mc (midnight commander) and enter ā€œcd sftp://user@destinationipā€ so I have source and destiantion in different panels and can copy selective ā€¦

May be not the fastest way and may be grsync does the same, but always nice to select from ways to do sth. :wink:

a little bit off topic but Iā€™m currently enjoying scrolling though this thread: Favourite Lesser Known Programs

I just switched form nano to micro as my cli editor. I wonder what more Iā€™ll find there. :slight_smile:
