Thanks for the quick ftp answer, those that answered! Well, I'm seriously thinking of formatting my fat partitions into ext2fs(thereby effectively removing completely my M$ stuff), and I was wondering if there was a way to do this without destroying all of the files on there. I have 2 or 3 partitions with music and .jpg files, and the partitions have so much data on them that I won't be able to move them to another partition. Can I format these without moving/losing the data? My other question is: I'm looking for a way to compress a whole lotta .jpg files without having to manually open each one and re-compress them. Is there a script/command that I can use to compress them a certain percentage?
