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.
