Hi Darren, Well see I didnt know that, and I am so glad that you have explained it. This is something that I came across last night, whilst trying to upload a file from my Dektop to my website using shell commands, or at least trying to. Something that I found out after a while was that you need a Terminal open for the Desktop and one for the Remote server. I just could not get my Terminal to recognise that there was a file on my desktp that needed to be transfered, kept saying no file found. This is something that is really frustrating me that I couldnt get that to work, which was why I asked about pc to pc help. I am sorry about all the questions, I think I already frightened somebody off, which I am really sorry about if I have. :( John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
