Based on earlier email and what Mike replied back with I was able to send the files that I needed to the server with the following command. sshfs kc8tdw@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/var/www/vhosts/kc8tdw/ kc8tdw.com/httpdocks/sessions/ /home/kc8tdw/Desktop/school Now, all of a sudden this will not work. I have downloaded Filezilla and logged in with my used name and password and I can not create dirs or files. I have chown to kc8tdw:kc8tdw and the folder permissions is 755, but I still can't do anything. Server is Ubuntu 7.10 Laptop is Ubuntu 9.10 beta Ken
