[Xastir] Snapshot question

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

If one's got remote hosting and the host is *nix, one generally wants to 
use something like 'scp snapshot.png www.ka3nam.com' as wput will try to 
serialize rather than overwrite.  Friends don't let friends use ftp 
anymore... in fact, I'm about to even lose the option at Texas A&M as 
we're going to close the firewall to *all* FTP.

I can probably help, later this evening. I've gotta be Mr. Mom, and will 
be spending a lot of time programming after the kids are asleep...
