If you send your messages to daip or to both wyoung and egreisen
then Wes who understands these matters better will participate more.

It is set in stone that our ftp server will be ftp.aoc.nrao.edu but it
has changed to acorn and so could change further and I would worry
about the ftp address changing - we had an ssh setup in the old days
and they moved ip address on me then which was a big mess.

Wes is looking into using alternative methods and Susan's suggestion
of simply copying her laptop to the desktop will work for now.
