Ok,. my bad. (Open mouth, insert foot. :-D ) |

Being a *nix junkie, I tend to do some things old school--that is, there |
| 36 |
are specific tools that are (dare I say) more specialized to such a |
| 37 |
task. You know... SSH = Secure SHell, SCP = Secure CoPy, SFTP = Secure |
| 38 |
FTP... So I had never really looked into using the "ssh" program for |
| 39 |
copying files between servers--it's always been more of a telnet-like |
| 40 |
application for me. |
