Everything goes fine, except that : after a while I get logged out for being idle too long (after 300 seconds I : think). The file's transferring fine to that point, but then it cancels and : I get logged out (of the other system). Is there any way to prevent this? Enter 'hash' at the ftp> prompt before sending the file. This will toggle hash marks on and will print a hash mark (#) every 1K (or something like that). _________________________________________________ _ __ __ __ Michael G.
