I just tried putting a file x.html on my ftp server which contains a link <a href="foo">foo</a>. This link is following by Netscape if I use "ftp://server/path/x.html"; first. So I think you can savely remove the leading "ftp:" from the installation manual. Thanks, Chris -- Christian Schwarz [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], Don't know Perl?
