People are sometimes quick to yell out RTFM! There's something a little more subtle going on here - I've experienced the same problem and have read ftp documentation extensively trying to resolve the problem. /usr/bin/tcsh was indeed in my /etc/shells, but no luck. After reading the previous post, just for the heck of it, I entered /bin/tcsh in /etc/shells, and now it works. Note that /bin/tcsh is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/tcsh. Now I don't profess to be an expert on this, and I'm sure if I dig around for the next four weeks, I might find the solution to this, but the original poster had a valid problem report which RTFM really isn't going to solve for him! -- Don Morton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Math Sciences Voice (405) 581-2396 Cameron University Fax (405) 581-2616 Lawton, OK 73505 http://www.cameron.edu/~morton -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
