If you really did not change anything, it sounds like your client is getting bit by changes made elsewhere in the path from your client to the ftp servers in question. On the other hand, we have had cases (using ftpsesame on OpenBSD 3.7) where passive ftp stopped working apparently due to memory starvation on the filtering gateway. After killing a pftop which had lost its controlling terminal due to a reboot of a putty.exe equipped machine elsewhere, it all started working again in that particular case. Given the stability of the platform running putty.exe, this has happened more than once. -- Peter N. M.
