O Webmaster, I am a computer networking guy by trade and see no need in the ban of logging on and FTPing small pictures. Have you heard of a company called Hot Mail? They built the world's largest FREE EMail system on the premise to log on, get your mail, and get off (to let someone else do the same). Being a networking guy, I am constantly asked "How do I get my business with it's own Web site?" and I sure will refer NO BUSINESS to good old Flashnet. Build the proper infrastructure with security and you will not have this problem. If you wish assistance in this matter, I charge $150 an hour and can do Firewalls, Remote Access, Routers, Hubs, etc. I would ask you to look at your CPU on your UNIX box as well as, the utilisation of your backbone before you pass judgement. Apparently, Webmaster does not mean Master of the Web! Thanks and HAVE A NICE DAY, Gerry gfleming@home.com
