Handy" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FTP connection Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey folks, I've got an ftp problem I don't understand. On my FreeBSD box (running a relatively recent version of -current), when I anonymous ftp to one machine in particular I have problems seeing the directories on that machine. Specifically, when I try to get a file: 200 PORT command successful. 425 Can't build data connection: Cannot assign requested address. I asked the folks what kind of machine it was I was connecting to and the answer I got was "A Fast server", which I think means "Fast(tm)". I've never heard of it, I'm still working on that bit of information. At any rate, sometimes I can get onto this machine and see directories and such, other times I can't. It seems to work from other platforms. Can someone proffer some advice as to how to troubleshoot this? Thanks, Brian
