My first suggestion would be to get rid of the try/except block - it's not really helping you. Just let the exception be displayed. When I try that, I get a variety of different errors, depending on what sort of "invalid IP address" was used - if it's malformed ("192.168.1.2.3"), I get a DNS failure, if it's a computer that doesn't exist but ought to be on my LAN ("192.168.0.2"), I get a timeout, and if it's one that exists but doesn't have an FTP server running ("192.168.0.3"), I get a connection refusal. Exactly what I'd expect to see. Removing the try/except will show what's happening. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
