I have tried more then 5 ftpd servers, like wzdftpd, pureftpd,...., but none is successful, any suggestion? thanks > Cheers, > > Rob > > -- > I tried to change the world but they had a no-return policy > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject > of "unsubscribe".
