depends what level of access, at my former employer I used WinSCP for win32 clients, and enforced RSA key logins. It has a fancy pointNclick interface, it's freely downloadable, based on Putty code. you could also get cygwin with ssh (sources.redhat.com I think), and use the command line scp/ssh, works well too. And/or rsync-over-ssh this works too(though rsync on win32 can be flakey). another way could be to setup apache-ssl, and export your data over apache, setup HTTP auth ..though this should be more of a last resort. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
