Thank you - I think the ssh option is interesting. I could be mistaken but it strikes me that it would have the downside of allowing the user to wander all over the machine if he decided to manually try it - since he can read the unix user name and password from the config files. It would be impractical to create a unix account for each application user client; instead, am thinking of having each client have a separate directory (not any better). Ftp does not allow the user to go anywhere outside his home directory. thanks, Anil
