In the logs, this error appears: Failed to create a socket: Address family not supported by protocol You can easily reproduce this problem by connecting to ftp.belnet.be as anonymous. The problem happens with gFTP 2.0.15 as included in MDK 9.2 and the latest Cooker package 2.0.16-1mdk. The included patch solves the problem. It is based on the patch posted on http://archives.seul.org/gftp/users/Nov-2003/msg00010.html It adds an option to enable/disable IPv6 in the configuration window. The only difference with the original patch, is the fact that I disabled IPv6 by default, because this actually solves the problem and IPv4 is currently more common.
