I don't know what a "general problem" means. FTP support in mc has never been very reliable. It's getting better, but I believe it's still true that a misbehaving FTP server can hang mc. I would say that the "general problem" is that a lot of code wasn't written with reliability and security in mind. But that's the code we have. Things are improving, but slowly. > Has this been solved in other mc versions? I don't know about this problem, but almost every released version of GNU Midnight Commander included some fixes for VFS and FTP support in particular. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
