Thanks for the info, Rick. The trouble with AOL is they will not let you get
into your FTP space unless you are logged in to their portal.
It's an extra step for folks who have not used theri portal for years. I
need to add AOL back to my laptop. =(

I am familiar with GoDaddy already have my domains with them.

Cheers,

BenT
