can't transfer files between networked YDL boxes

[Ron Smith]

Oh cool, I am glad that you got ssh up and running. I am obviously 
biased toward ssh and scp over telnet and ftp. Once you move things 
to/from the wrong places a couple of times scp will become second 
nature. ;-)

As far as the yum install ftp thing goes,.... it didn't work!  I need 
to figure out how to use yum anyway, so I'll let you know what I find 
out. I am sure there is a tutorial on yum somewhere that I haven't 
looked yet. =)
