Is this possible? I can ftp from the PC to the UNIX server (on same subnet / TCPIP etwork), however when I try and ftp to the PC from the UNIX server I get "Connection Refused". I have tried connecting to PC's with Win95 and NT, but get the same message (evern though I have added the computer names and ip's to the hosts table and can ping their ip's) Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Unix runs a lot of services by default(A side effect of a net aware OS) telnet is run by the super daeman called inetd which will launch other Unix daemans not run independently and under the configuration of inetd. It so happens that telnet is run by inetd by default and that is why SCO is ready for telnet at anytime because the service is ready for the client. On you humble PC there is no service running on the telnet port of you PC. Connection refused should really say "service unavailable". If the earlier post has directed you to a telnet server than you will be on your way. Good luck.

to ftp to the PC you need to have an ftp server running on the PC. I use one from NetManage. It works great. User control and all.
Summary: well, obviously i take it that FTP is closed on the unix box and you can't ftp in. How about installing an FTP server on your PC at home and ftp from the unix box to your PC? ...
