Well actually I did help solve the problem, because the problem is most likely your client. It is impossible for anyone to look at what else could be causing problems, when your particular client in known to have very major problems. It's not that it's windows, we help here alot to connect the two, but the ftp client in particular, just plain out doesn't work. >There are many ftp-sites > where IE can access them without problems. I beg to differ, and so would anybody else who uses ftp on a regular basis. Do what i did today on my Win2k machine with IE and firefox and go to the site http://www.ftp-sites.org/ Find a locale near you, and go down the first 20 (or 100 if you have time) on the list and tell me how many work with IE and how many with Firefox. I got a 20 - 0 in favor of Firefox. In all cases i had to ctr-alt-del the IE because it failed. I mean it just isn't normal or acceptable for software to completely crash that often. Here's another one i had to ctl-alt-del for IE: ftp://ftp.windows.com . Works great out of Firefox! Pretty funny really. The point is you are asking us in our free time to chase a wild goose, because you're using a known broken ftp implementation. Someone might be more inclined if you suggested just about any other ftp client. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
