You could do the following;

Email the file(s)
Use a USB flash drive
Upload to a free file share host

Hope these help.

That wont help -- no offense

I don't see why you need to do a Cable when there are plenty of other faster methods

I basically want to do a back up of my laptop and I dont have an external hard drive, big enough flash drive, and my wireless drops out sometimes in the middle of transfers. All I have is an crossover cable and I also want to know for learning purposes. Hope this explains it.

im not sure that you can do that.
Plus if your backing up ubuntu it won't work onto Windows
i'll look around for any tutorials

I can make an image of the hard drive and stuff and save as .iso and transfer it to windows. Re install ubuntu, dual boot, mess it up, etc, then transfer the .iso back over and restore it.
