BTW: glib-1.2.0 and gtk+1.2.0 or higher are needed to install Gftp. Well, got and installed the suggested glib rpm and Gftp installed but refused to run. The HD acts like it trying to start it, but no. Any error messages when you try to run it? Any suggestions! While looking around on my HD, I found two other ftp programs that were already installed ftp and tftp. What are these two program for and where I can I found instructions for there use? Hell, they might do the job that I'm looking for. If you've ever got programs that you find on your hard drive that you're not sure what they do, you can always use 'man program' and see the manual page for it.

Its funny, I just found that out. Anyway, I scraped Gftp and went with IglooFTP, it works great and was a lot easier to install. I think my problem with Gftp had something todo with it being a non-static rpm. Regards, Qman... "Don't you just feel good about yourself, you will!"
