THANK YOU ! I have no idea why this would not work before .. exactly why I was whining so loudly here. This should have been a no-brain try & succeed once thing.
I just now tried ftp.lt.freebsd.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the password and in like flynn. Bizarre ... the email address I am posting this from was not accepted !! Yep .. I knew WSFTP95 does not have resume; sorry about the confusion in my posts. I was using this to establish an FTP connection to check that I could & to get a speed test out of it for time estimates at different sites. It's such an old and reliable application & I know it pretty well I didn't want to confuse myself (moreso than I usually am!) by bumping around several new interfaces. THX for the smartFTP link; I'm collecting a whole set of freebie ftp utilities; resume was not so critical before as it has suddenly become. I haven't DL'd anything larger than about 90 or 100 MB in the last two years. My cable cnnxn currently runs about 100 MB/ hour with some varience (~29 - 32 bps is norm) ... so, y'all will be crazed ... er, graced with my newbie install attempts Real Soon Now; I expect by Monday depending on other things I am trying to get done. I know all about burning an ISO with something like nero ... that is exactly what I use; I have a fully licensed personal copy of 5.5 that hasn't failed me yet for many IOS's, including linux installs. Nero rocks ! I have ftp. I am happy.
