CaptainMark, I am very much a beginner in many aspects, with occasional forays into more intermediate tasks. I did type "devlin@remotehost" which was the cause of that problem. I replaced "remotehost" with the actual name of the remote host. Thanks for taking the time to help.

deadflowr, once I fixed the above problem, I did run into the problem you mentioned, but I did some reading and found the solution before getting a chance to read your post. Thanks to you as well.

I will be marking this thread as solved until if and when I run into another hiccup.
