Yea, but it's also handy to have ur server grab files for you. Lots of times, I'll want to download a file so I'll paste a link into the ssh terminal using "wget". It will download the file for me at usually blazingly fast. Then I'll download it from my server and not worry about getting disconnected in the middle and such. You can also run Xwindow applications like Firefox and such thru SSH (as long as you have a X server running on ur computer, Linux obviously has one, but u can install one for Windows too).Originally Posted by Spyder
