To use it, you first need to start a terminal shell program. On the GNome desktop, select Applications=>Accessories=>Terminal (or maybe Applications=>System Tools=>Terminal, depending out how things are set up). [I don't use the GNome desktop environment enough to know for sure. On *other people's* computers I've seen the Terminal in either of these two places.] In the terminal window, you can then type: sftp username@hostname: Then you can type help to get a list of commands you can type from there. If you want a point-and-click interface, I don't know of one. I myself actually use scp or ssh (with tar or rsync etc.) also from the command line or with scripts. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
