It's kind of a moot point for me at the moment since the only place I'd
want to use it for won't consider allowing secure sftp connections... I
wouldn't care if I didn't have to use my primary account password when
logging in with an insecure ftp session. 

AS it is when I'm ready to make changes in my "personal web space" I'm
going to have the entire file tree working locally with relative addressing
in the index.html. Then I'll us mc to <F5> copy the entire relative tree to
my "public" folder in ftp session in the other panel... Right afterwards
I'll make their tech help change my primary account password. Still someday
I'll have a valid use again for sftp, and it's good to know that by them my
favorite file management software may {by then} be all I need to use it...

Thanks for the info guys
