I feel so stupid. Next time I'll do my homework a little better. Thanks Martin Würtele. I didn't know that there was a "scp" command for secure copies. Works OK.
Thanks Carel Fellinger. Your response got me thinking, and after checking, I don't have a "fptd" installed!! I installed "profptd" and all is well in ftp land. Thanks for the quick responses. -=[cwa]=- -- Christopher W. Aiken Scenery Hill, Pa, USA chris at cwaiken dot com www.cwaiken.com Debian GNU/Linux 2.2_r2 On Sat, 24 Feb 2001, Christopher W.
