John, it sounds like you might be behind a SOCKS server or other type of firewall that is limiting what you can get to. One thing you might want to try, is to simply load Netscape/Internet Explorer, and give it the URL ftp://<site> as in some cases, a network is simply using a PROXY server to allow normal access to the Internet which will only work through a Web Browser (i.e. Apache Proxy Server) - ---------------------------------- Jeff Hurst E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 13-Aug-98 Time: 02:20:37 - ---------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBNdKTy0iZN8hXvI05AQH+egMAktoj88AVGq13BnXdwJFh0HgeHkTkQi2h 3HjoRnpTfzCX7zU2Ag9AUi1aN8txz8CBLEjn7cgt30nHxCFR9Kqha0dV6JgQ7JY2 UL2j/P5XlhMOUVutJHQG/9T5uPvLogjU =GFH4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
