Which filesystem is compatible with GNU/Linux and Mac OS? I want to be able to read/write from both GNU/Linux and Mac OS. For example I want to copy a file to my external hard-drive from GNU/Linux and then copy it from the external hard-drive to Mac OS.
I know FAT works but I want it to support files bigger than 4GB. Can anyone help?
Thank you
3Are you sure you don't just want to use
scp
to copy via the network? Would be much easier, I would have thought. – None – 2012-12-24T00:18:32.470never considered that. didn't even hear about scp :-/ i'll do some research – None – 2012-12-24T00:20:41.623
It's a relative to ssh (secure shell - secure remote login), and is very useful to copy files from one linux/unix type machine to another. scp uses the same infrastructure as ssh, to log in to the other machine and then copy the file content over. It's fairly efficient as long as machines are connected with a goog (gigabit) network, and with a long piece of wet string... :) – None – 2012-12-24T00:24:34.553
