Thanks for the idea, Andrew, but I'm actually not scripting this. Right now I have two windows open: one for sftp and one for shell commands. I was hoping to save myself the trouble of switching windows, keeping the cd in sync, etc, with something that supports both sftp commands and ssh commands. I don't want to increase my workload by prefixing all the commands. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
