Would you really be kind and post this to the list for me? Victor ------------------------------------------------------------- Using dselect and its ftp worked OK for one download. I tried dselect ftp again and was unable to log on. Has anyone had this problem and been able to correct it? I have tried purging and reinstalling "dpkg-ftp" and "libnet".
