Personally, I do almost everything over ssh or, more specifically, using scp. scp localfile username at remotebox:destinationfile I use shared key pairs for authentication but you can be as paranoid or as lax as you want security-wise. Both gnome and kde have ways of using scp within the gui as well but I've found the command line to be the most reliable. - -- The Wandering Dru GnuPG Key: 0x506A915F http://www.druswanderings.net Get nifty TCLUG merchandise at the TCLUG Store! http://www.cafeshops.com/tclug -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFD3kEriwhv4FBqkV8RAgU5AJwP9e6fVZhbzr4Nydl+6lQmfxyPcgCeOhhk ZzgAnjSW5RfizZfJ7USOsFk= =cgLU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
