No, I am using a Windows box as the intermediary.  I have the left side 
connected to my SCO box on the local network, where I keep my original 
copies, drive U:  and the right side connected to my remote VPS Linux 
box.   When I edit the SCO side with Notepad++ I then transfer it to the 
Linux side with Filezilla.   I would edit directly from the remote box 
if I could but Notepad++ won't let me connect remotely so I have to do 
the clunky transfer.   Since the Windows box is the actual platform for 
Notepad++ and Filezilla, it sees everything as DOS.
