Hello Gregy, Gregg, and Glenn: I tried Glenn's suggestion of adding the trailing "/", e.g., ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/ but that didn't help.
Gregg's suggestion of: >Under the Options/Internet Settings, I have selected "Don't use FTP >Proxy Server". If you are set for something different, then this may be >the cause of your troubles, but that's just a guess on my part. Here is that section of ARACHNE.CFG: ... [internet] HTTPproxy proxy.provider.com:8080 UseProxy No HomePage c:\browsers\hotlist.htm <= changed from default SearchPage http://search.arachne.cz/ SearchEngine http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?q= FTPusername user FTPpassword xxxxxx FTPhost ftp.provider.com FTPpath /home/user/ AcceptCharset ISO-8859-1,* ... and in any case, it is the same as in A166. The ARACHNE.CFG file was produced with the installation wizard with some changes maded afterward to suit my situation. So, although I can access FTP sites with A166, this is a bit of a mystery to me. Thanks anyway for your advice. Sincerely, Klaus Hameyer Burlington, VT (USA)
