It wasn't in the username after all. The host is using FTP over TLS, so I need to use ftps. That gives me a command line of curl -u u...@host.com:password ftps://hostname.com/path/file.mp3 which eventually times out with the error "curl: (7) Failed connect to hostname.com:990; Connection timed out" I then discovered that there are two modes of FTP over TLS. There is explicit using port 21 and implicit on port 990. After testing with Filezilla, I find that explicit works and implicit does not. Now I need a way to get curl to use port 21 instead of 990. Thanks for any ideas. Michael ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Direct to their Twitter account. I get results. I've had good experiences (except for the conglomerate owning Mr Coffee) communicating via email with their 'contact us' address. Example: Cusinart. I looked on their web site for a whip for my stick blender model; none was shown. I wrote to them and after a couple of email exchanges they sent me one for free as my model has been discontinued.

Re: [PLUG] Web site access issues
I meant that you could inquire about the apparently broken website. If someone could confirm what you were attempting was working for them, it would narrow the problem.

The problem is that for this program corporate changed the previous procedures and I've been trying to work with someone in Bellingham, WA, rather than the local bankers I've worked with for more than a decade. Since branch staff have been cut back they have a couple of empty offices and I'll see if I can access their portal using a branch machine.
