What it's trying to say, and => SHOULD be saying, is, "Permission denied". Check the BSD box's => credentials on the OS/2 box. Perhaps OS/2 is listening on a => privileged port? -o resv would fix that.. That's how I interpreted it :-) Funny part is, that FreeBSD 1.1 did do the job. But I'll try and see what ports we're talking here. The BSD box is in the exports file. => > Then I'm trying to use ftp for the install, and it turns out that unless => > the passive mode is toggled in ncftp nothing can be ls/dir-ed. => > Doing it manually in debugging mode reveils that ncftp and the OS/2 ftpd => > can not exchanged directory data because the data connection wasn't opened. => => The old version of ncftp doesn't handle automatic selection of passive => mode. The current one supposedly does. I can't promise, but I hope => that it'll be the system ncftp for 2.1. Now what file, with what contents do I drop in a basic installed system to ahve ncftp switch mode. (I'll just do the ESC ESC trick and reboot) I tried reading the manual, but didn't get it to work. :-( [Which is mostly my ignorance, I'm shure] WjW
