The two URLs with and without a '/' on the end are for different objects. The problem is that without a '/' on the end any relative links to files will lead to the incorrect file. For the URL ftp://ftp.foo/bar/ a link to a file called foo.html will mean that you meant ftp://ftp.foo/bar/foo.html. In IE if the '/' is missing then the link will mean ftp://ftp.foo/foo.html which is totally different. For this reason the FTP directory listings need to have a '/' on the end. > is there any workaround? Don't use IE! > btw. wwwoffle 27c does not compile on cygwin. (~50 errors in > wwwoffled.c) Can you send me (not the wwwoffle-users list) the error messages. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
