If you had a Linux machine locally, I.E one that you owned and used yourself, it would be a lot easier to do, as the tools that I am thinking of are readily available on Linux. The tools I am thinking of, are the SSH suite of tools, particularly one command being scp. This command allows you to copy data securely over a network connection, by means of encryption. You will have to investigate whether such tools are available for DOS, but if there is, it will be easy to copy all the data over in one command, without bringing the rest of the system with it. The only problem might be that you may have to use tools other than net tamer to connect to the net in order to use scp. As I said earlier, if you have local access to a Linux machine, this would be a hell of a lot easier to do. I hope this helps. Luke
