Help! I am a newbie who has set up a command line system on an XPI 166 = laptop. If I am posting this to a wrong please then please forgive the = error and tell me where to post. Most things seem to work okay except the ftp - I have been struggling = with this on and off for a couple of weeks. To download some packages = I ended up running ncftp and it was able to successfully operate but = excruciatingly slowly (ie 950secs) for a download of about 1MB - I = operate on ADSL - go figure. Both the regular and nc ftp packages seem prone to stalling. My latest = problems centre about trying to download some webpage files from another = machine (WinXP) attached to (and behind) a USR router/firewall (yes the = USRobotics firewall is enabled) my Freebsd one is not. The ftp server = is filezilla server on the WinXP machine. I was starting with = downloading a simple webpage to test apache - two files, index.htm and a = small (30K) jpeg image. Index file downloaded quickly, the jpeg = stalled after 26K - and kept on stalling - same place. When I tried = using ncftp this time, it stalled at about 18K. Things are set up well = enough that I am able to connect to and navigate the server from my = FreeBSD system. Clearly there must be some basic setting that is incorrect or = incompatible - perhaps related to my router - but am not too sure. The only reference which I could find was related to problems with = tcp.recvspace being set at 56K for 4.8, but it seemed to refer to modem = related problems. In any event I was not able to change it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Graham/
