As a side note, if you only need a directory listing, you can also type "rs ." (don't forget the dot). If you use an FTP client that doesn't know the rs command, you can use "quote stat ." instead. FreeBSD's client knows rs, so you can use that. The advantage of rs over ls is that it works through fire- walls, no matter what, because the directory listing data is transferred through the control connection (it doesn't require a data connction like "ls"). Unfortunately, some FTP servers don't support it correctly. Most servers whose authors have read and understood RFC959 usually get it right, though, which includes FreeBSD's ftpd and wuftpd. ;-) Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 München Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
