Hello, I think I've come across a little bug in wget when using it to get a file via ftp.
I did not specify the "passive" option, yet it appears to have been used anyway.... Here's a short transcript: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sim390]$ wget ftp://musicm.mcgill.ca/sim390/sim390dm.zip --21:05:21-- ftp://musicm.mcgill.ca/sim390/sim390dm.zip => `sim390dm.zip' Resolving musicm.mcgill.ca... done. Connecting to musicm.mcgill.ca[132.206.120.4]:21... connected. Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> SYST ... done. ==> PWD ... done. ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD /sim390 ... done. ==> PASV ... Cannot initiate PASV transfer. ==> PORT ... done. ==> RETR sim390dm.zip ... done. [EMAIL PROTECTED] sim390]$ man wget As you can see, PASV was attempted (and failed) I was looking for an option to prevent passive mode. [EMAIL PROTECTED] sim390]$ wget --version GNU Wget 1.8.2 Running on Fedora Core 1. Regards, Don Russell
