This is on a linux to linux ftp. While the ftp connect is waiting, the server shows the following: [root@UNS root]# netstat -a Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:http *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN tcp 0 1 UNS.cdm.oclc.org:1025 ibml01.dev.oclc.or:auth SYN_SENT tcp 0 0 UNS.cdm.oclc.org:ftp ibml01.dev.oclc.or:1092 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 48 UNS.cdm.oclc.org:ssh dhcp30-94.dev.oclc:4282 ESTABLISHED udp 0 0 *:syslog *:* Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 6 [ ] DGRAM 861 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 1053 unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 1023 unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 995 unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 873 unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 483 The auth connection goes away at the same time the ftp login prompt appears at the ftp client. I don't think that's a coincidence. Lonny
