I'd use ssh only. Just give a 'cat > /tmp/myscript.sh' command, then output the contents of the script, followed by CTRL+D. That also enables you to get the output directly (by giving the result of the script on stdout) instead of having to create an FTP server too. Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity.
