It would be so much nicer, however then you would need to change firewall settings to allow the other end to open a connection to your server and the potential risks there. I think you are right to dismiss SSH driving an SFTP back to you to do a get and rm as an option.



I see you have the usual "We're okay." type response. There must be a logging somewhere to say that the connection is refused, dropped, whatever. This is laziness on their side, especially if they made the change that broke it. I agree with your SmilieSmilieSmilie


No thoughts yet. Perhaps at 3am I will get an "A-ha!" moment.Smilie
