Re: (2) How secure is XOR encryption?

Thanks for your comments. I had a look at SFTP then went sideways and had a look at scp which I've used between Unix systems. I finally ended up (thanks Google) looking at this page which provides the PuTTY Secure Copy client. I think that's the way to go, so I'm going to try that out.

The putty stuff works fine, although I'm not sure it can be automated with VB. I also use the scp client that comes with cugwin on Windows and it works well.	[reply]

This is off-topic, but it looks like there's no SFTP server running on the other end.	[reply]
