Frankly, you should not administer a server at all with this knowledge level. Pragmatically spoken, you want to use WinSCP. Kai -- Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

For instance if you try to ftp/scp the '/' dir, you will undoubtedly encounter /dev, /sys, and /proc. Any of which would cause your ftp session to run forever or until you filled the machine on the other end, because the files located within these directories are not really files, but operations and data sources (hard drives, random data, constant streams of data, etc). You really need to re-think and better explain what it is that you're trying to do. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
