To transfer files to the 7200 you should use FTP, but you need to get
the ethernet connection going first. You really only need to set the
IP on your computer to a fixed IP using the same address range as the
7200 default, such as 192.168.0.5. The default IP of the 7200 should
be 192.168.0.50.

Actually, from the command prompt, type "ifconfig" to verify the
default IP of your 7200 is in fact 192.168.0.50.

Once you have the ethernet connection working, you can also telnet to
the 7200. Of course in a browser window, type in http://192.168.0.50
and you should see the default TS web page.

Well, you need to look for someone locally that has experience with
Linux or Unix in general. We can't help you with everything via the
email list.

Also, if you describe you application, you will get a lot more
helpfull suggestions.
