Hi,
If you can ssh, you can also scp just in Terminal.
Thanks for listening,

If you're ok with using the command line you can just do FTP in the
terminal. From the finder just do option-shift-u to get to the
utilities, type T to jump to terminal and then Apple-O to open it.
From there you will be dropped into your home directory. So to ftp
up a file from your desktop you would just do
cd Desktop
ftp whereever.com
put somefilename
Hope this helps.

Hi there, I've been on this list, once before, way back when tiger
first came out. However, now with leopard and all it's new
features, I'm reevaluating. My friend just got a mac, and I've
been helping her, based on what info I can pick up, especially
from blind cool tehc. Thanks, mike! <smile> Anyway, i have a few
questions. First, what do people reccomend as a good player? I
know itunes works quite well, but any other suggestions for good
players? VLC media player, perhaps?
Vlc is very good. Also have a look at realplayer, as the Mac
version is quite accessible unlike its Windows counterpart. With
third party plugins for various file formats, Quicktime player
itself can also become quite powerful.
Also, here on my windows laptop, i have two sound cards, and use
the machine for internet streaming. What are good soundcards to
use with a mac, and what software is out there for streaming to
icecast servers in particular?
Have a look at Nicecast from rogueamoeba.com. It's shoutcast and
icecast compatible and can stream pretty much anything you can
here. Note that there are some accessibility issues with the
various effect-processing features but those can be worked around
relatively easily.
Lastly, what about a good IM program? Particularly one that can
connect to all of msn, aim, jabber, etc?
Adium is your best bet, www.adiumx.com.
oh, lastly, does mac have an ftp client built in?
Sort of. The finder can connect and download from ftp, but for
whatever reason there is no ftp upload functionality in Finder. I
know there are some free ftp clients such as cyberduck, but that
one has never given me anything but grief. I use one called
Transmit 3 which isn't free but works great and has a finder-like
interface. Also, since OS X is UNIX underneath, you can install any
command-line ftp client that is available if you'd prefer that.
