Still Waiting!

I was digging through looking for using a remote tape drive with tar, and I found your comment. It's old, but I thought I'd put the trick up.

You can tunnel the ftp from retrospect via an ssh tunnel iof you have ssh access on the destination server. I'm away from may main computer, or I'd give you the command line, but you tunnel ports 20 & 21, then point Retrospect to the localhost address, now tunneled via ssh to your destination. It's a hack, but possibly useful.

(rsync is a good resource too, but when backing up a Win/Mac workgroup to the other side of campus, Retrospect has it's uses too.)
