Thanks Cory, The web server is Apache on a Red Hat 6.2 system.
I thought of ssh but they will be using Windows98 and I wasn't confident of their use of the command console in Putty. If there is a GUI that will work with SFTP or SCP that may very well be the way to go. As usual, your comments are right on top of things. They just need a way to download and upload files and ssh is already in place (I just haven't told them about it. They are not Linux or command line savy). If I can set them up with a gui in windows it will be perfect.
