Thanks for the fast respond.
I wanted to use wget in an automatic virus datfile update script for the crontab(s).

sorry, that I missed to send you the debug info ... I just solved the problem another way ;-)
damn "Micros$ft" servers. These people at Micros$ft always have to "re-invent the wheel" themselves.

Hi,

why does a directory listing on: wget ftp://ftp.mcafee.com or any
subdirectories of this server not work.
Other FTP servers seem to work fine.

$ wget -d ftp://ftp.mcafee.com

Aha it's a Microsoft so called "FTP Server" with DOS dirstyle listing.
This listing format is unsupported i! n wget 1.6. You can:
- ask ftp.mcafee.com to change there default to unix listing which is
supported
- patch the 1.6 code so that it issues an DIRSTYLE command at
connection
or
- use the current 1.7-dev CVS code. Where support for this has been
added. Look at the web-site http://sunsite.dk/wget for instruction on
how to get it.

And please, in the future include debug output when reporting problems
!!!
