Server is 3.3.7p1, as is amrecover, the rest of the clients are a couple versions newer, straight out of the wheezy or jessie repo's. I did try to build 3.4.4 here a couple times, but it won't build, and a posting quite a while back about it didn't get a reply, so I went back and rebuilt 3.3.7p1, with the same old gh.cf script & till now its just worked. I found that I could get the directories contents, but nothing beyond, if I "add dirname/*" but "dirname/*/*" was rejected. So I plowed all 3 rows of corn repeating that till I had what I wanted, but it didn't fix my web page. The server claims its working but no content has been added. And theres about 7 gigabytes just sitting there. I guess I'll have to admit I'm a dummy, and go find my copy of the "html for dummy's" book I bought quite a few installs ago. :) Cheers Jon, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
