dd if=/dev/fd0 of=~/floppy.img

If you want to copy *files*, you're better off using things like tar,
rsync, or something else. Since you weren't specific, I can't give a
specific answer.

Actually, I've seen Richard Couture use Ghost to copy ext2 partitions.
Ghost v6 or later is also supposed to be able to resize ext2 partitions,
but I don't know how well that works.
Ghost is a DOS program, so it may be of little use to some people.

Quite so. But the questioner did specify "over a TCP network".

On the destination machine
nc -l -p 7777 >/dev/hda
On the source machine:
nc destinationmachine 7777 </dev/hda
If your computer does not have a copy of "nc", then go to
http://www.freshmeat.net and ask it where to download "netcat".
Be careful that both of your machines have the exact same size
harddrive and be warned that the above will wipe out everything
on the primary IDE drive on your destination machine (replace
/dev/hda with the device name for the drives that you want to copy
from/to).
If you do not want to do a block level copy, then you are better
off copying the individual files. In order to do this, pipe tar
through netcat; try the following:
On the destination machine:
nc -l -p 7777 | (cd destdir && tar xzvfpS - )
On the source machine:
cd sourcedir && tar czfpS - . | nc destinationmachine 7777
Of course there are plenty of other ways to do this. "rdist" would
be an obvious example.
Markus
P.S.: I currently do not have any spare harddrives that I do not
mind reformatting, so I have not tested any of the above. Let
me know, if these commands do not work (you might have to
throw "dd" into the mix, to make sure that writes to the
block device are performed in units of 512 bytes).

dd will do it locally. If you want to do it over a network, pipe the
output of dd into a process that goes to another machine. Simple, see?
The reason you're not seeing it is that you're not used to thinking of
programs as construction pieces. Think of it as a tinker toys problem.

Hmm, ssh isn't 8-bit clean though, is it? IIRc, it uses ~ for escapes.
So eg "~?" will not go through ssh cleanly (try it).
Sure, ssh is fine, if you're carful to specify -e none on both ends.

Good point.

Well, I dunno why anyone would want a bit copy of anything, I was just
trying to answer the question. I have used rsync over ssh a lot though.

Right. You can also dd an unmounted device. Usefull for corrupted
drives/diskettes that won't mount.
It's also a technique you can use to recover files from earsed or damaged
diskettes.
dd is either one of those tools on steroids.
