	It might make sense to forget ssh and just try and get a ftp 
server going on my linux. I got a software device that you used from 
Netscape that set up ftp in Red Hat 8. It didn't come with the software 
but I got it somewhere. I guess since everything is set up on this red 
hat 9 I should just need to set it up. I know from experiance that 
windows 98 from a dos window can call and ftp server and then do what it 
wants to. 

	So will work this way and see if I can get it set back up.
