why do you expect to be able to tunnet 'ftp' like that? ftp sends only commands via port 21. data is sent via a seperate connection (data is both the output of 'ls', and files you transfer with 'get' or 'put'). it looks like you _might_ be able to do what you wanted, _if_ your could force the 'data' port to always be the same port on the remote machine, and then tunnel that port too via ssh. if this is possible, perhaps someone on the list can show us how to do that. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
