I had moved to Securezilla (a derivative by others) to obtain this but have now moved back to Filezilla. (Power of free software, the existence of Filezilla 'forced' Filezilla maintainer to adjust to encrypted password sending, as he lost a lot of supporters by refusing this for a long time. If you set file manager to the routine connect you make, it is a one click operation to log on to the server you require. Like Julian I keep back ups and send one copy to my domain server. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
