Many thanks for all of the wonderful help! I don't mind using the disk space - I have it... I have very slow (<1mbs) DSL at my house, so sshfs is suboptimal for me (I have tried it). I am a PhD student and don't have a speed upgrade in the budget. Maybe I am using suboptimal settings. I have access to a remote server and my work desktop over ssh; maybe I am using suboptimal settings to sshfs? I am just making sure that these files are not going to screw anything up. kindest regards,
