Thanks for replying, vgersh99.

When I tried that (on solaris) it didn't seem to want to let me move files between directories, only rename files in the same directory. But I may have just messed up... I'll try it again when I'm back in work.

Thanks silentbizob - I'll investigate ssh as an alternative (I only found out that ssh existed today!)
