These scripts used to work on Panther, but since I upgraded to Tiger, they no longer work. It seems that I can log in to the ftp server, but after that, nothing happens, and I get the time-out error. I am certainly doing something wrong.
If you disable the firewall, I'm presuming they'll work?
I don't remember the exact variable, but I *think* that adding PASSIVE_FTP=1 to your shell's startup should fix things up.
