Thanks, Vince, I have wanted to switch to rsync but have been hesitant for lack of experience. Not being much of a programmer, I didn't follow how to set it up so I stuck with FTP which was working at the time and has been for several years. Is there a simple "how to" guide I could follow? I'm confused by setting up keys to authorize the transfer. Thanks. Bob
