Filezilla is an ftp client that supports file transfer over ssh: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ For remote X you should use nx (emerge nxserver-freenx) or vnc (emerge tightvnc). To map a network drive, you should probably tunnel samba through ssh. Google for "samba tunnel putty". Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
