I will take a look at ssh-scp. I don't really mind what I use. Thanks. I was just trying FTP and it does seem to work - after a fashion. It is very slow and the user/password I created (using adduser) only has limited access to directories (where do I change this?) Regards Martyn R. Whittaker

It means there are no certificates found. My immediate advice would be: read the proftpd documentation. my best advice would be: don't use ftp :) -Gabe ps. my immediate request would be: please don't post html mail to vox-* _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
