What were you trying to do?
Transfer files to athena from a pc running NT4 (not the system above)
What's wrong:
Problem with Plop. If user opens Plop and enters host and directory info manually (i.e. if not using a shortcut), then closes Plop, the next time the user drags a file over a shortcut, the file goes to the directory the user had named while running plop manually, not the one in the shortcut. You can fix it by opening Plop manually and clearing out the host/dir info you had entered previously. Seems like a behavior that shouldn't be happening -- could be dangerous.
Thanks
