    SSH as a FTP Client?

    I got SSH Secure Shell (Client) for a C++ class (provided by school) and it also came with Secure File Transfer Client. Can I use this as an FTP client? I tried messing with it but I don't have a FTP server to connect to at the moment to test it.

    Subwoofe

    I have a Klipsch PM 2.1 setup and the sub is under my desk. The side of the sub with the grill faces me while the 'hole' faces my left. When sitting properly in front of my desk, I can hear bass but my satellites overpower my sub. If I move back about 5-6 feet I can hear bass much much...

    I swear I have OCD when it comes to my computer

    I cringe when I have to install new programs and I still feel like my computer is dirty after I uninstall them. I can't stand how uninstalls leave things behind such as in the folder where it was installed and in the registry. I watch my memory usage when my computer starts up to make sure...

    CD Lifespan / CD Ripper

    I was talking to my friend the other day about burning cds and he said that over time the cds will lose their data (even if you never touch it after creation and store it in a closet). First of all, is this true and if it is, why does it do this and how long will it take? Secondly, does the...

    Gaim

    In Gaim, is your buddylist stored on AOL's server? What about Trillian? Makes me so sad that it isn't in Miranda :(. Also, is there any way to change Gaim's logo/icon?

    Connection Problems

    Hi I recently moved back from college and got cable installed again. Instead of letting me use the old modem which seemed to work fine, they gave me a new one that for some reason stops sending data every so often (duration of ~45 sec) and then starts again (Old = Motorola SB5100, New = Terayon...

    New Speakers Dying?

    I just picked up the Klipsch PM 2.1 online and the sub is making rustling noises (even when its not plugged into anything so I don't think its the soundcard). It didn't do this when I just got it (it's about a week old). Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I would like to apologize ahead of time for being so vague but I am not sure myself what I'm talking about. Anywho, here goes: My friend told me that it is actually better in some cases to have smaller partitions so that the cluster sizes will be smaller and so you can fit more things on...

    Memory Speed And Latency

    What's better...PC3200 memory with a cas latency of 2-2-2-5 or PC3500 and up with not so good latencies. I don't really know how low the latency for PC3500+ ram goes so let's say price for the PC3200 and PC3500+ are the same so we won't be comparing PC3500+ at 2-2-2-5 or something like that...
