Re: {bb} bb-top.sh, bb-axis.sh

I am doing it that way, and no dice.  I get no overt errors from the script.  
I'm able to do the same thing the script is doing as far as FTP, and get no 
errors.  I can download the status and config files by hand, but the script 
can't seem to do it.  Is there a way to debug what is going on?
