Psheesh, /that/ was obvious. Did you even have to ask?
Actually, isn't this easy to do on Linux? That is, run an ssh server (whatever) on your home machine, log in to the SF shell (which everyone seems able to do), then scp whatever your_home_IP_address:your_home_path from the SF shell? Heck, I can even get that to work on Windows, except I don't know how to set up anything on my end to accept the connection <wink>.
TP> Is scp working for *anyone*???
Nope, same thing happens to me; it just hangs.
That's good to know -- since nobody else mentioned this, Fred probably figured he was unique. not-that-he-isn't-it's-just-that-he's-not-ly y'rs - tim
