I continue to be mystified as to why I cannot use ftp to connect to my isp with Linux. I administer a couple of websites on the ISP's server and therefore need to go to Windoz or Mac to connunicate. I continue to get an error message and get a failed login message. I have set up an account with the same user name as my account on the server. Actually, the password is the same also. The ftp man page mentions a .netrc file but I have no idea what is needed in this file. Is this the answer? I My proceedure: ftp -v isp.com or ftp -n isp.com or just ftp and at the prompt open isp.com I connect to the server OK and hit enter or enter my user name and it is still OK but it won't accept my password at the prompt. I am running RH 6.0. The isp system is Unix running wuftp. What am I missing?
