Tom, Thank you again for quick concise and correct answers.
I have never used ssh other than to talk to my Raspberry Pi with PuTTY. I sought a little help from my host, but they ran me round the houses with info on ssh. Eventually I gave up on them and found https://support.suso.com/supki/SSH_Tutorial_for_Linux It is so simple compared to the rubbish from my host. Now all up and running using RSYNC many, many times faster than ftp. Don't know why I ever thought ftp was a good idea!!!!
