First of all I dnot know too much about ftp other than its a way to transfer files. I was thinking of using it as a way to back up my computer. The idea is I would run windows from a VM on my laptop and clone it periodically. I would then send the clone, essentially a virtual appliance, via ftp to my old computer. Then if I got a virus I could just wipe the VM and send the VM clone forms my old CPU back to my laptop ready to rol, settings and all. Is this possible? Thanks for any help or suggestions
