Bittorrent is a different story but dloading to remote directories isn't hard using putty from windows...Once you're logged in you have full access to the bash-shell. Make yourself su/root and do whatever you like. You run the remote-linux PC by being in/on it and can tell it what to do whatever you like. It will require a fair amount of command-line knowledge though:) Something similar but then gui fashion can be gotten from using VNC...but that's a lot slower and crash-prone in my experience. Either way you take full control of the remote PC. Going from linux -> windows (I'm talking 98 here) is a bit more of a hassle though VNC can do it. If you want ssh-server options on your windows box you'll need to install "cygwin" or one of the derived lite versions. With cygwin you'll be able to run X remotely as well:) Good luck, HarM -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
