Use one of the free dynamic Ip services. A couple are dyndns and dns2go. Both allow you to ftp back using just a regular URL-type name. That's how my ftp links work. They only supposedly set it up for http, but I've been using them for ftp without problems. One bit of weirdness is, I can ftp back to one using a www on the ftp link, or without it. I don't recall them even requiring the www on the http ports, but it works. On both no less! -- Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft product. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
