Linux and data storage?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Sina,
I for one thank you for your help here.  There is no such thing as too much 
information in a case like this.
The idea of doing the transfer from my ftp here on shellworld to the ftp on 
my site as a quick solution while I find another one is fine by me.
I apologize that Janina does not agree, but it is not her data.
