Thanks. Using vsftpd but still need to do some configuration work on it. Looks like user 'anonymous' is chroot-jailed somewhere. Its working directory at login shows as "/"; an ls -l command shows only a directory named pub. It can cd to /pub; cd commands to other directories fail. Soon as I figure out where the anonymous "root" is, I'll just copy the .iso file over to its pub directory and see what happens. -jc- ********************************************************************** Information contained in this e-mail message and in any attachments thereto is confidential.
