- I've just installed Gene Spaffords ftpget package, so that we could
- queue ftp transfers overnight.
-
- It doesn't seem to work, and I don't know enough about ftp and the
- internet to find out why.
-
- We have a sun sparc II with 4.1.1B, perl 4.035, and a dial up ppp
- connection to demon.co.uk. Ftp and telnet work fine (eg: I can do
-
- ftp gate.demon.co.uk
-
- and do anon ftp with no problems. However, running the following:
-
- enterprise:[~pete] % ftpls -l gate.demon.co.uk /pub
-
- gives me:
-
- Unable to connect to gate.demon.co.uk ftp port: Connection timed out
- at /usr/local/bin/ftpls line 48.
-
- Any help appreciated as always,
- Pete
