I use WS_FTP Pro, pretty easy to use and has many other uses. Not expensive and well worth the price.
Thanks rolfw, have purchased the program as you suggested.
As I understand to transfer files etc, I must make TWO connections, one, my server to FTP prog and the other, Dreambox to FTP prog. I have connected ok Dreambox to WS prog using 192.168.1.2 as the 'Host Name', then 'root' & 'dreambox' for the other fields in the 'Connection/Site Manager' box, can upload all the files FROM the DB ok.
Cannot however secure a connection from my server to the WS prog, having entered, several times and variations, the info from the 'ipconfig/all' listing of MY PC. Am running XP Home - modem.
Have disabled all firewalls/Zone Alarm etc trying to connect.
Have read and re-read the associated prog 'Help' files/forums etc. I am obviously missing something. Could you please kick me in the right direction by showing me a 'dummy' of what you have, naturally altered for this purpose, ie: exactly what info I should be putting in the 'Site Manager box, to secure this connection.
My intention is to tranfer the updated keyfiles to the DB 7000S.
New to this, flashed my first image with null, all working ok, seems pretty stable, at this stage obviously only FTA channels. Then intend to download latest keyfile/unzip, then using FTP prog add these to the original DB upload and transfer back to DB.
Hope I am on the right lines. In the meantime not idle, still reading and trying. Your forums DO warn, it will not be easy at first. They WERE RIGHT!!
Thanks for your aid. ;) lovelyperson
