Thanks again for your help Bitfolkers, Proftpd binned and WinSCP installed, sound advice!

I'm looking at installing an ODBC connector for mySQL database, the idea being that I want to connect from a Windows machine, OK OK I'm old school! But I do have a very good reason for doing so!
I was looking at http://packages.debian.org/etch/php5-odbc as a solution, any thoughts?
There is a distinct lack of documentation so that makes configuration a real chore, specifically if I create a database user, say dbuser and grant him privaledges to the database then when I connect from my windows machine my user becomes dbuser@cable25.uk.net or something similar so the connection would be refused by the database.

I remember that in Cpanel there was an option for allow wildcard ODBC access and this would eneble a connection for dbuser@anywhere. I'm assuming this can be done from the command line but again I can't find any documentation.

Can anybody suggest where I can find out more about this?

Cheers,

Cliff...
