Sound like good advice but I'm ftp'ing from Windows NT at work to a Linux
box across the aisle inside an isolated network. You've peaked my interest
though in case we decide to hook up to the company LAN. I've heard that
there are ssh programs available for Windows but they can be hard to set up.
We would also need to install ssh on a couple of HP-Unix servers. Any
recommendations?
Thanks,
Rick
