Please resurrect that asshole Steve Jobs, and make him put the old Samba server back into OS X. And while you're at it, tell him to put back the GUI switch for the ftp server. After you're done with him, put him on the kill list, and put Apple on your list of terrorist organizations.

Thank you

I had already set the folder permissions so that 'everybody' could read and write to it, slipped right in and copied everything over without a glitch.

Thanks for taking the time to respond...
