Thanks to everyone for your recommendations! I think Transmit is what I need as that seems to be a "heavy lifter." The problem is that my system is a PPC iMac running Leopard 10.5.8... I love my "old friend" but I think it is time to say goodbye... (Now if Apple would just release their new "goodies.")
Thanks again for your help... (And, yes, Esther, I am still here... Trying to stay invisible in the background as much as possible. You are terrific [as always] on this list!) Lou.
