Firstly, you should upgrade the Solaris box from 2.0 to 2.0.8. There have
been _lots_ of changes in the code in the last year and a half since the
original 2.0 release.

Secondly, you can't just FTP a set of data files onto another server. The
structure of the file is dependent on the OS on which mSQL is running. To
transfer a database called test use

        msqldump test > test.dump (on the Solaris box)

        msqladmin create test
        msql test < test.dump (on the Linux box)

This will recreate everything including indices etc.
