Save your current arachne.cfg file (v1.71) via use of the 'saved profiles function'. On the dialer page... link to "Profile" (just above "Phone number") Change the name shown in the entry field to "klaus.acf" and then link to the "Save profile" button. Now, copy your arachne.cfg file (v1.66) over top of the current one in the v1.71 directory. See what happens now when try to access that FTP site. -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
