The school folder on the local machine was made with mkdir school as regular user not su and the folder permissions is 755. On the remote I can create files and folders as regular user, but the command will no longer connect. Also, call me a fool, Filezilla I just remembered that it's default port if you don't put one in, is 23 and not 22. Put 22 on it and I can transfer files, but the command that you gave me, I can't get it to work anymore, don't know why. Ken On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 1:16 PM, M.
