I don't know if it is an option for you to use zc.buildout. If it is, then zc.buildout has an extension that lets you use sftp: http://www.python.org/pypi/zc.buildoutsftp This has the advantage that, if you use an SSH agent, you don't have to enter credentials when you download a transaction. And, of course, it is more secure than digest or basic authentication. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
