Method A is cumbersome because it lacks lcd and forces the user to remember (and type) the username, password, IP address, and full path to the file. I was hoping for an elegant solution that did not need all that (sftp does not). And maybe having a "lls" (local ls) would have been nice too, something I've always missed from sftp. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.
