Okay I can see why it only needs SSH so will change that when I get

And of course as soon as I made this change it all started working via
SSH. Looking at it now it seems such an obvious mistake to have made
but I just couldn't think where it was going wrong. Many thanks for
putting me right with that part of the configuration.

I'll close this down tonight but at least I had it set in the router to
only allow access from my work PC so no-one else could get in.

Thanks again.
