I no longer believe this to be related to the USB or FTP.

I made several experiments last night and all ended in the system hanging up and needing a hard shutdown:

· using FTP to copy files over wireless;
· using FTP to copy files over wired network;
· using NOAPIC on the boot flags and using FTP to copy files over the wired network;
· using cp -rvp and watching the files come across

In the end, what the problem starts to feel like is, when a fair bit of stuff (more than a Gb or so) is copied over, the system becomes unstable. That is, the system sometimes hangs AFTER the copy appears to be complete.

One thing that has changed in Beta 2 is that I no longer see messages of any kind in syslog related to this problem.

Anyway, for me this is a complete show-stopper with regard to using Natty, since I have no way of copying my data from Maverick days over - neither a USB drive nor FTP.

Please help!
