I use SLiRP to fake a ppp connection to the net, and I've begun to have problems connecting to some sites, but not all. Here are some examples of what happens: fetch: >>Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles//. Syntax error, command unrecognized ncftp: Logged into wcarchive.cdrom.com. NcFTP 1.9.5 (October 29, 1995) by Mike Gleason, NCEMRSoft. wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.16/FreeBSD/distfiles ncftp>ls Illegal PORT range rejected. wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.16/FreeBSD/distfiles ncftp> ftp: 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 500 Illegal PORT range rejected. 425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused. ftp> However, I have no trouble with many other sites, including freefall. I didn't always have this trouble, but I don't know when it started, because I usually use ftp just to grab the ctm deltas from freefall. Did wu-ftpd change recently? Does anyone have any other suggestions? -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis - blewis@vet.purdue.edu
