Sorry about the tile, but I really didn't know what to put, and I don't see much point in starting a thread for each question, as they should be quite straightforward, at least, I hope so. Here they are:

1) Is there a way to remove a directory from the CLI when the directory is not empty? I am sick of seeing this message, and manually deleting all the contents before being able to remove a directory.

2) When trying to copy a directory from one partition to another, I get the message "omitting directory", is there a way around this?

and finally,
3) I have a few computers at home, and every now and then I have to move files from one to another, the only medium available to me are CD's and USB sticks. And it's a pain in the arse doing it this wa, so I was wondering, is it possible to do this using ssh?

Sorry about the length of the post, and thanks for any help.

1) (man rm)

2) (man cp)

3) yes, you will need ssh on the machines you want to copy onto/from and you can use scp to copy across. You could also use FTP or mount the directories using samba/NFS.

Ok, thanks ethics.

I posted, and about 5 seconds later, I have an answer. I love this place.
Once again, Thanks ethics, this has really been getting on my nerves for a while now.
