Hi, If you just want to transport some files, you can also use ssh to do that.
On your client commandline, you can use the scp command to copy files. In KDE you can type a URL like fish://[email protected] and after providing the password, you will be able to browse your remote disk over a secure connection. sudo apt-get install openssh-server would be the command on Ubuntu-server would install that for you. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Do you have a businessplan?
