lynx question

[John McCann]

Hi Sean:

I've never heard of cygwin; I'll have to check that out. When I want to 
transfer files from the windows box to the linux box, I just copy the 
desired file to my clipboard, then use internet explorer to get to my ftp 
server's "incoming" directory, then paste / upload the file there. Then I go 
onto the linux box to change the ownership, permissions, etc. as needed. I 
do have ftp voyager on the windows box, but don't use it all that often. 
Actually, what I need to do is to set up samba and learn it, but that's a 
project for another day.

John
