In our university setup the only alternative to ssh/sftp would be pure ftp (with their accounts and passwords), which is a no-go. Its hard enough to teach them to set their ftp-program to use sftp... And I once tried to use key-based authentication with winssh (or putty? can't remember) and even I didn't succeed. How should I expect them to use it? Have fun, Arnold
