It is a subtle and fine art. I think I'm getting better with age. I'll re-read Eric Raymond's article on "How To Ask Questions the Smart Way". :) > can you guess what the most likely cause for the error is? ;-) I can think of a couple of possibilities, but I don't know if any are what you're thinking of. 1. Directory permissions are set improperly. I've double-checked the permissions on the directories and files in question, and they are correct. Just to be extra sure, I set the permissions to 777 and tried again, with the same result (and, of course, set them back as soon as I was done testing). 2. Not using passive transfer. I used both passive and non-passive file transfer, and got the error with both methods. But, I just got word from the network administrator. It appears that he made an error of some sort in the firewall, and now it's working. Heh. Is that what you had in mind? Sláinte, Richard S.
