The problem is not that Sword (or anything else) uses anonymous ftp. The problem is that you have a buggy ftp server that fails in the presence of IPv6. And it's not even failing on IPv6 itself -- network connectivity works -- but on some authentication mechanism that is somehow mis-tied to IPv6. This has not a whit to do with "the gradual shift from IPv4 to IPv6." "IPv4 -vs- IPv6" and "HTTP -vs- FTP" are orthogonal; a change in one has nothing necessarily to do with the other. This has to do with unfinished software such as your ftp server. --karl, professional network head
