Jay is right. The other alternative is to have your own FTP site, which my
son set up for me. He made me a Linux server on an outdated computer I had
retired, with freeware FTP (Filezilla) and it works fine. However, unless
you are fortunate enough to have a computer guru in the family, as I do, it
is probably best to go with Jay! But that is an alternative.
