FTP will not untar your files for you. If you get the 'could not create file' message, it could be because: - You do not have any hard drive space left on the FTP server - There is already a file with that name on the FTP server - The directory is not writable - You are not logged in properly, and have read-only access -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
