ncp is short for 'network copy'. you can use it to copy files (even whole directories) over a network. for ease of use it can search the target host, so you do not have to know the ip-address / hostname etc. -- mit freundlichen Grüßen, Michael Holzt Multimediahaus GmbH Technik D-58540 Meinerzhagen holzt@multimediahaus.de +49 2354 9296-0
