Dear All, Sorry to post this on a Cisco mailing list, it is not related to Cisco products (except maybe the ftp site). However, as I always receive good support from this list, I am trying anyway ... I am using Socks5 for ftp to the internet, and Checkpoint FW1. Nothing is dropped on the FW and I can connect to ftp, and sometimes I have random behaviour when issuing command. For example, in the example below, when I do an ls I get the listing, when I do ls again, I get nothing. Any ideas what can be the cause for this ?
