You can add modular ssh support to teraterm (http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html) and save yourself some money - the ssh extension is not developed in the US, therefore you're free of export restrictions too. Since teraterm is in itself an excellent terminal program, if the ssh extension works, it's a good choice. Or run FreeBSD on your home machine too :). > How about ftp, is that handled by the ssh daemon as well? > Not out of the box, you'll need port forwarding which can be messy. I'd prefer scp if it can be used for the task at hand. -ac -- Alex Charalabidis WebNet Memphis (901) 432-6000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
