First of all, thank you woutermense and izobbz for the replies. I'll have to read up on the aMuleCMD, but that looks like what I was after.
Are you a spam bot ?
If not, kindly remove that link from your signature.
Seriously? I took the time to register with the forum (using that freaking captcha crap that everyone hates); used the activation link that was sent to my email (after changing registered email addresses and re-requesting the activation email since it was not getting through to my primary email address for some reason); filled out the User Profile Information fields in the User Control Panel; posted a relevant, intelligent question in the correct forum - but yeah... I'm a spam-bot.
