Greetings! Two thoughts based on my own past hiccups with this system:
1) If you are behind a certain type of firewall, passive ftp is required. What ends up happening without it is that the file is opened on the remote side, given a 0 file size, but the reverse data channel is never opened and the upload is stopped here. 2) If some mishap like the above happens, and there is a file or fragment with the same name on the system, it will not be overwritten. Typically it is auto-deleted with an email notification within 24 hrs enabling a retry after this time interval. In any case, directory listings won't work even if the file is there. Welcome to the world of ftp crippleware forced on us by the malicious and irresponsible :-(. You might try with a different name if you expect the above. If none of this works, and if you still can't get a reply from gnu.org, please let me know and I will write them too. Take care, "Mike Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi Camm. > > | Greetings!
