Ah.. Now this seems to explain some of the problems I've been having: moxon:~# showtrans /ftp /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs / moxon:~# ls /ftp ftp.debian.org jimbo.trustix.com sunsite.uio.no moxon:~# cd /ftp/ftp.debian.org moxon:/ftp/ftp.debian.org# ls debian du-s incoming lost+found pub serverfull.msg welcome.msg moxon:/ftp/ftp.debian.org# cd /ftp/ftp.trustix.net moxon:/ftp/ftp.trustix.net# ls bin etc lib pub moxon:/ftp/ftp.trustix.net# cd /ftp/sunsite.uio.no bash: cd: /ftp/sunsite.uio.no: Gratuitous error ;) Might the problem be that ftpfs does not especially much like wu-ftpd? The debian site runs some proftpd, Trustix has "Version 6.5/OpenBSD, linux port 0.3.2", while the Norwegian sunsite has wu-2.6.1(2). Tests against other wu-ftp servers seem to show the same "Gratuitous error". I remember some talk when wu-2.6.0 or something was released about the fact that it's implementation of ftp had some quirks that made it incompatible with some clients. I believe that /hurd/ftpfs might just be one of those clients. Has anybody else had success running ftpfs against wu-ftpd >= 2.0.6? Oystein -- If it ain't broke, don't break it.
