That's a socket timeout, not an FTP timeout - that's why the timeout parameter isn't doing anything. Are you sure it's just a 20-second delay there? Check if there's something else blocking the connection somehow. Can you telnet to that computer on port 21? ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
