[Xastir] Snapshot question

[Bennett, Joe]

Yep! :)

I apologize for not being to clear on this. I'm really
looking to take the snapshot, ftp it up to my ftp/ web
server and then add it to my homepage. I have seen a
few ways to do it, but I'm gonna admit that when I
find "howtos" on a webpage that ends in .edu, I get
lost quickly. It seems the comp-science guys think a
bit different than I do... :)

As James pointed out, I'm really looking for the
"entry level" option, if I can use that term. If it
can be a simple as wput snapshot.png
www.ka3nam.com/snapshot.png I can handle that. I am
assuming it can be as "simple" as that...
