You'll be in a bbs, so just enter the file section. Uh, if one can "telnet", why would one not be able to also ftp? If I understand what you're saying, you're implying that some sites don't permit ftp OUT of a site but do permit telnet or rlogin OUT of that same site; if they do that, why could one not just rcp? Would you please clarify this? Thanks! Thad Floryan [ thad@cup.portal.com ]
