Princeton cares about your IP number, which may change with MAC address
(or may change otherwise?)

I think.

Your talking about the main babase box?  Cathrine's machine.

I can't ftp to that box either.  But then I've changed my IP address
too since I've moved....

Axel/Princeton may or may not support ftp to that box.  I may have
to kick Cathrine off and work at it, unless Cathrine is willing
to dig around in the ftp server config.  We did do that once
together, I think.

My new IP is 69.73.17.250.  What is yours?

Anyway, I don't recall it supporting sftp, just ftp.
