ftp> open gets the error: sorry, arguments too long
Too long? Too short I could understand :). That bug is qute strange I should add! and on a first glance I don't get it. However, I suggest an enhancement: have open without an argument re-open the previous host, if there is one. E.g., ftp ftp.gnu.org ... connects ... ftp> close 221 Goodbye. ftp> open ... connects again to ftp.gnu.org ... A very good idea and I think I will implement it, the `other' (*BSD) ftp does not do this. But I'm not sure if we want to be compatible here or not. Right now the way `open' should work (if we ignore the above bug) is that if you type it without any arguments, you get a interactive prompt like this (_!_ being where the cursor is): ftp> open (to) _!_ _______________________________________________ bug-inetutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-inetutils
