This still isn't great information on what specifically you're doing and where you see the problem but it is enough information to state that the FTP client you're using isn't Cygwin's. Install the 'inetutils' package if you want Cygwin's 'ftp'. Otherwise, I'm afraid you're slipping into the realm of the "off-topic". -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
