Ha, it sounds like what I was getting last weekend - "socket error
10060". But I had this even while running against my local FTP server
with ProFTPD on the other end. And one time by some miracle it did
connect correctly and listed all files on my FTP server (but crashed
seconds later). I haven't done much tests, so I assumed I am missing
some bits of configuration, somewhere. The TCP/IP stack used by NDN is
somewhat exotic ("Sabretooth"), I never used it before. Looking at the
various changelogs of NDN and Sabretooth I noticed that these guys have
put lots of effort into developing their FTP support, so I believe it
should work, at least within a limited configuration scope... I just
haven't had time to play with it more. Of course it might be also that
NDN's FTP support is plain buggy, and we're wasting our time with it,
who knows.
Rugx was mentioning that he got it working fine (I assume it was on
FreeDOS?), maybe he could provide some experience pointers here...
