Just to make sure, you meant your home directory right? You should very rarely log in as root. Almost everything should be done as another user just to be safe. sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ls > get file1.txt > mget *.java > put new.txt > quit After awhile, you'll start to get annoyed with sftp. I listed it first because it's good to know how to use just in case you can't use anything else. It's also the safest from a security stand point. The OpenSSH people are anal about security, so if I don't fully trust a server I only connect to it using sftp. Thankfully, you can actually use lftp and get tab completion, recursive copies, and other good stuff. lftp sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ Alternatively, Konqueror provides a graphical interface similar to WinSCP. I'm not a KDE user, but IIRC the URL format is fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Gnome, the format is the more logical sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] or File>Connect to Server... and fill out the needed information. Be sure to come to UUG meetings. You can meet people to ask questions, learn interesting things, and eventually start answering other people's questions. -- Stuart Jansen e-mail/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden
