how to transfer files

[Derek Trotter]

Here's my two cents worth.  For this example I'll use ftp, but the idea 
should work for other options. Set your ftp server so it does not start 
when the system boots up.  At the remote location log in via ssh.  Then 
start the ftp server, transfer your files, stop the ftp server and log 
out. That way the ftp server is only available when you're using it.
