Okay, thanks for the ideas.  - I'll have to think about this.  I'm really looking for a way within FTP since I'm transfering files.  But I suppose I could drop out of FTP then go to another method after I've transfered the files.  I know very little about these other methods.

	Not so much with ftp, although that depends on whose daemon you're

	connecting to on the Linux box. But there is the REMSH.NET.SYS client, which

	can execute a single command on your Linux system, if it's running the

	remote daemon (rshd? rcmd?). IIRC, remsh can use a .netrc file to secures

	its password and logon information. If so, you should use that as well.

	

	Also, hasn't ssh been ported to the 3000?
