I don't agree that UDP causes problems, but on the other hand it is nice to configure ssh access as well in case you need to diagnose problems with CIPE or the other end of the tunnel fails and you still need some kind of remote access. If you do have ssh available you can use scp or winscp (with a nice GUI) to transfer files without having to tunnel over it. If there is a big difference in speed between scp and ftp or smb over the cipe tunnel you probably have a problem with the MTU. --- Les Mikesell [email protected] -- Message sent by the [email protected] mailing list.
