Oops, just sent the reply just to you.... Anyway, yes, that's why. Although that's actually controlled (usually) in /etc/ftpusers. Use sftp or scp instead. Both of those use SSH as the transport. Scp has similar semantics to Unix cp, and sftp looks like FTP. I think Putty has implementations of both of those. (pscp and pftp, I *think*) Adam
