[Summary-Talk] Re: Summary installed on one server, monitoring another

["Vijay-Kumar Solanki" <Vijay@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I got it workin :-D

Entered download information for each report and that worked.  If I 
could suggest:

Somehow have options to use the same ftp information from the main
download config screen - I realized that I was entering a lot of the 
same information for each report ( my hand hurts now )

Thanks - Vijay
