As several people have pointed out if you ssh from A to B and then run you run apt-get the output in the window on B is clearly seen on A. The only problem is that if the output is more that can fit on the terminal window from B it is hard to copy the stuff stuck unseen in the buffer. It can be done but it is tedious. The simplest thing is to have the output captured in a file and then sftp the file from B to A. -- ======================================================================= At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
