The FTP on the Mac looks like the Font/DA Mover in that one list has your Mac files in it and the other list has the remote machines list of files. TCP/Connect can be gotten from InterCon Systems Corporation. Your other option is to check out SU-MacIP which has a FTP as well. With both of these you do not have to open a telnet session first. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 46950 Community Plaza Suite 101-132 Sterling, VA 22170 Phone: 703.450.7117
