Thanks, I’ll look into FXP. I’m not using GD for hosting and this is not a one-time thing. I’m finding I’m having to zip up and copy files from one site to another on a more frequent basis, so I wanted to be able to do it more directly. I guess an FTP client that lets me simulate that would be almost as good — with two windows that look at two different FTP sites, and I can simply drag-n-drop or click to send a file from one to the other, and it handles the DL and UL invisibly. All FTP clients I know of are only between another system and my local machine. -David Schwartz > On Nov 23, 2020, at 9:23 AM, Thomas Scott wrote: > > I seem to remember running this via FTP to FTP connection, I think it was called FXP?
