There seems to be some confusion over this request I posetd earlier. I realize that the IP layer is responsible for routing. But sometimes two networks are seperated by "firewall" machines for security measures (ie. a firewall between a business network and Internet). Thus to log on to an Internet machine from the business side you must first log on to the firewall machine. This keeps the Internet machine directly off your business network, while still allowing you to get access to it. I'm looking for an e



nhanced FTP which will "bridge" this firewall. To make data retrival a one-step process.

Please mail replys directly to me and do not post them. This just clutters the newsgroup.

Thanks
