Updating wow

Get the ip address of my machine. Create a temporary directory, say, `/home/me/wowtemp'

Change the permissions:

chmod 755 -R ~/wowtemp

On the remote machine running windows, install cygwin and make sure all the ssh stuff is installed, along with rsync. On that machine, test the ssh login to the linux machine. Once ok, navigate to the local wow directory, and do:

rsync -avz --progress ./* login@192.168.1.xxx:/home/login/wowtemp/

and cook dinner.

A 4.0MB/s transfer will take 20000/4 = 5000s = 83m = 1.4h to transfer 20 Gig.
