Thanks for all the advice,
Maltes, I saw the previous discussion but couldn't find the code, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Webdav seems like it could be a really useful tool too. I'll investigate that for future transfers of this nature.
Sorry to start a different topic on the same thread but can I use photo album or something like that to serve up random images in my dotLRN portal classes. So add links in the adp files of the layouts? It's getting a bit dull without any images and we've been given about 200 to brighten thigns up with!
cheers,
Matthew
