Hey guys ...

Usually I use ncftp for ftp transfers, but since I went
over to 2.2.5R, I get this error on every transfer ..

Error: Error occurred during read!
Reason: Operation timed
out                                                   

I mean, even on the smallest file.  When I use normal
ftp, I never get this error.

I've used both versions 1.9.5 and 2.4.2, and with
and without their patches.

Is there anything else I've missed here ... I
really do miss the -R option in normal ftp.

Thanks
-Jacques
