Currently both directions don't work. In addition the only way to connect to Machine A is using ssh, and sftp locks up so thats no option either. Its fire walled so writing my own simple ftp clone won't work (could maybe tunnel that over ssh). There is supposed to be a web interface for that, but couldn't get it to work. As for the earier talk about tunneling ftp, I tried to reverse the directions appearing in several HOWTOs saying to use: ssh -L 1234:localhost:21 remote and then ftp localhost 1234 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
