Thanks that worked and with -U username%password you don't even have to mess with the password it allowed me to find their missing file and tell them what it was called and where it was. I actually log on from my linux computer to the linux server at work with mgetty then had them share the C folder so I could search. A question can you copy files from windows to your home directory I tried cp and copy but neither worked it just said cp: command not found. Linda
