Dunno what your work platform is, but with linux I use sftp in konqueror using a split window and move 'objects', or groups of objects from one location to the other. To move an entire web site, I might use rsync. > 3. What should I be using...SSH or SFTP and why? With knthost.com you get both SFTP and SSH.
