Hello Steve, hello Ted, hallo Matthew hello Bill and hello Dave!
thanks a lot for your advices. You were right. In the far machine I didn't
have the client ftp pc in /etc/hosts and I thought I didn't need it
because the target pc is also the name server. However I had not
made possible for the name server the reverse name resolution because
I thought it was not necessary. I find it curious that though reverse
name resolution doesn't work, I did come through but it took time.
What was the compromise done by the system in this case?
When I made the suggested change in /etc/hosts there was not delay
like you have said!
The passive mode is a very interesting point. I didn't know that before.
For the case it couldn't help of course.
