Except that the file transfers are, figuratively speaking, about an order of magnitude slower than those using 'real' unix daemons. That's my experience anyway. If speed is not of the essence, but privacy is, and you have ssh servers on the machines involved, the fish:// protocol offered by KDE's Konqueror and Dolphin packages is extremely convenient. I suspect that there is probably an equivalent function offered by the GNOME world but I know next to nothing about GNOME. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
