How can you specify that you want the gimp to use a different disk for its swap files?

Anonymous FTP from 65.25.208.182 from ~11:30 PM to ~3:30 AM per the http://www.macosx.com clock. Also feel free to e-mail me at chenly@mn.rr.com and I'll be happy to send you the files.

To each his/her own. I've decided on Secure FTP for the moment, but check the UNIX forum here--I'm evaluating the interst in a MacOSX.com member-built Cocoa GUI for FTP/SFTP. The URL is below. http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17679

Is Transfer.app OK for a name?

Who wants to build one? GPL and the whole nine yards. PS--this post is not a joke.

...yafc isn't really a graphical ftp client. It uses X11, but not much. Back to the drawing board... Steve Jobs: if you're reading this, command your legions of UNIX prgrammers, chained to their desks without external internet access beneath the Apple campus, to build a Cocoa GUI for ftp/sftp as...

That's prolly from the same people that did Yet Another News Reader. I'll try that one. CaptainFTP flunked out six months ago.

Thank you, strobe! I was not aware that Apple had made the switch from micro- to macrokernel (then again, I haven't checked for around three years).

With kill functionality to boot (awful pun intended)!

Ah...I see that irony is *not* dead. Kudos for picking up my point, solarc. And now, ladies and gentlemen–the Darwin + XDarwin FTP clients...

OK--if /users/Shared is where you can put one copy of something for all users to use (the high scores, for example), other programs will be looking for it, too. I can live with it; it's just annoying. Thanks, guys!

Can I safely delete /users/Shared? Do any system resources or programs assume that it exists? What is its purpose? And, lastly, where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Additional information: the "Allow remote login" checkbox which appears in the "Applications" tab of the Sharing pane in System Preferences turns on SSH in OS X 10.0.4 and later; prior to that, it enabled telnet. For security reasons, Apple made this change. telnet is still available, but needs...

OK, we all have our differing opinions about the OS X-native FTP clients, but what about Darwin+X-windows GUI FTP clients? What are out options here?

No, no, you've got it, testuser. Mach *IS* a very small kernel, while the Linux kernel is comparatively large. It's a difficult concept to wrap your brain around, but you've got it. How about you, TommyWillB? Is this clicking (awful pun intended)?

Mach is the microkernel, the base level of the operating system and the one which interacts directly with the hardware. Mach was originally developed by the computer science program at Carnigie-Melon University and was used by NeXT Computer, the company Steve Jobs founded after the 1985 spat...

Anyone who didn't catch the "Wayne's World" reference in the subject line needs to buy the DVDs and watch it again. Fetch is overpriced and under qualified. In the pre-OS X days, it was a huge boon because it did all the heavy lifting in terms of getting FTP onto a system that didn't have the...

...blb's the Hackmeister. Hacker. Hackerooski. Makin' a hack. Hack-a-rama.

TransparentDock is an application program that scripts the Mac OS X shell. You run it once and the changes stay until you run it again. You don't need to reboot or anything; the program will just offer you the option to restart the Dock when it's done modifing the files.
