Perhaps, he could > explain what plain-old-ftp doesn't do and what he wants it to do. Plain old FTP transfers username/password pairs in plaintext over the = internet, as well as the actual content, which is a security hole. sftp = - the file transfer protocol included in SSH suite has been more than = adequate replacement for my needs as the traffic is encrypted and there = is no need for firewall trickery in order to get the separate = data/control connections going. Said that, I'd just use sftp, there are free text based and graphical = clients available and for the end user it handles just like regular ftp, = with added bonuses like using keys for authentication etc. -Reko
