By "general access" I meant that anyone should have access to my web-files - they would not require any sort of password or code. I would not like anyone to have access to configure the server or to create files on my computer. I only want to offer the ability to see my web-pages. > And in what way do mean by your desktop? A short cut to something? Are > you referring to your user account? Sorry, I just meant my computer attached to the internet. (It acually has a static IP address.) I wasn't referring to my user account, or any kind of short cut. I used the word "desktop" simply because I was on a laptop (on a train) at the time - which was also the reason for the garbled message. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
