(I think it does not use RCP because I made a link to a file
on another computer and WWW was not able to access it. But
I was able to RCP the file. I set up a link to a different
file to which I verified anonymous FTP access, and that worked
fine.)
I would guess that RCP copying would be faster than FTP, so
maybe it should be tried first.
Best wishes... Viola and WWW are excellent.
