Thanks for all the help thats come flooding in. However, whilst SSH seems the way to go, it poses another question. If I were to enable ssh on my PC, I think its unlikely that the PC I was using from the remote site would have the necessary clients available.
I can see the advantages if you were ssh'ing from another PC on which you could load the necessary clients. It is now looking like the only route is a webmail type of setup. I imagine the PC's I'm going to have access to while away will be internet cafe machines. Thanks again. Mark A
