this might actually be the most handy thing for me. i did ssh in at one point, and while i've used this command before, i'm not so comfy in the command line to think of it first. thanks. i think this might be, for me, the most helpful piece you sent my way.

um, believe it or not (probably not) but, i did this, too. granted, with much crappier terms, because i'm not fully soaked in linux taxonomy.

saw that. the scp and overly-command line stuff kinda made my head spin. i actually got a LOT farther with this
thread (as stepped me through the command line at a much more familiar level).
not unwilling to learn, but too much overwhelms me. so, in a round about way, i guess i was asking to be spoonfed a bit when the stove and ingredients were more than my kindergarten brain was ready for.
thanks you guys. i will try all of this. i cannot guarantee i won't be back with more questions, but i can guarantee you don't have to answer them.
