Thank you, thank you, thank you. :) By including this information here in this email.

If the Ftp server default directory listing style is set to Unix, then download works. __________________________________________________ The *REAL* 'FTP standard' does not allow for that '#' symbol to be there. The new 'MS standard' is placing that '#' symbol on some of the lines. (but not all of them) Bastiaan, Would you like to be a 'beta tester' for the fresh compile I have just done of core.exe ???? This is the code I added. --- in ftp.c --- while(buffer[3]=='-' || buffer[4]=='-' || buffer[0]==' ');//continued message! //!!glennmcc: July 9, 2003^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ //to compensate for the fact that M$ FTP server is sometimes placing a '#' //symbol in front of the number.... #230- instead of simply 230- ___________________ buffer[number] is referring to the 'offset' from the start of the line. Since MSFTP v5 is adding that '#' symbol... we now need to also look for that dash at offset 4 instead of just 3. If this works the way I hope it does. We should now be able to access MSFTP v5 sites without problems. So Bastiaan, Do you feel like being the first guinea pig to try this baby ??? ;-) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
