As has often been mentioned here, Cygwin offers a lot of benefits. For example, it has an OpenSSH implementation that includes scp. I use it frequently to copy stuff to my various Linux and Linux/390 systems. I also use it to ssh into my Windows 2K system from home, if I want to be able to do data-intensive things remotely. I also use rsync running on my Windows 2K box to copy stuff to my home system. Cygwin is a great tool. If people aren't running it already, I highly recommend getting a copy of what you think you might need and install it. You won't be sorry.

Win/2000 doesn't seem to have 'scp' nor does it have 'sftp'. It does have FTP and that is why I was using it. Just trying to keep it simple. I'm going to a test system that I use to stage files to a detachable drive that I mount as /share. On it contains such things as the "boot.local" to enable the timer fix, the SP2 CD, REXX programs that fix things up the way I like them and to report on things that I'm interested in, and to test out all functions that I need (ftp, printing, etc). Also, if I need specific RPMs that I had to download, they exist on the /share drive. So there might be an exposure, but not a concern....yet.
