My sequence of commands: $ settrans -c ftp: /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs / $ ls ftp://myuser:mypas...@servername.net/ ls: cannot access 'ftp://myuser:mypas...@servername.net/': Translator died $ An important aclaration, when i connect the ftp server through conventional ftp, i input: $ ftp servername.net > The part 'ftp://' is not needed. Can this be important?. I tried this: $ ls myuser:mypas...@servername.net $ ls: cannot access 'myuser:mypas...@servername.net': No such file or directory $ I feel a bit frustated, i confess. Anyway, you always are very kind, Samuel. A million thanks for that. Regards. Jose Luis. -- https://lordofunix.org/ Not Registered GNU/Hurd User. Registered BSD User 51101.
