Thanks for that. The directory that causes the problem is set drwxr-xr-x and
all the files are -r--r--r--. So I don't think this is the same problem.
This certainly looks like a bug in Rebol to me. The directory downloaded
through an ftp client results in a 137k download (about 1500 files). I
suspect the problem is caused by the number of files.
I really do need an answer on this - if Rebol cannot do what I want I need
save my efforts and look elsewhere.
If anyone want to give it a try...
system/schemes/default/timeout: 1000
print read
ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/aix/fixes/cad/other/catia_o
em_v4/IRIX/
Replace email_address with you correct email address (all activity is
logged)
Depending on proxy/no proxy/Rebol platform you always get some error or
timeout without the directory listing ever being received.
Thanks
Nigel
