If SSH for DOS is the same as ssh for linux, scp would be included in the package. ssh (secure shell) is basically a secure form of telnet, and scp (secure copy) is like a secure form of ftp. If your web host supports ssh/scp, you can use that instead of ftp to upload files to your web site. The following command, $ scp -v file.ext [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/file.ext will prompt for password and transfer the file. The entire transaction will be encrypted, so any potential packet sniffers will be out of luck. (The -v switch is just for verboseness, so you'll see lots of debugging info scroll up your screen. Leave it off if you already know everything works as it should.) There are also interactive, recursive, and batch modes, among others. - Steve
