I did the above (copy+paste; *WITHOUT* the "#", in case anyone asks). Here's what happens. Question... why is it prompting me with "530 Please login with USER and PASS." *AFTER* I give username "anonymous". BTW, if I try any username, other than anonymous, it dies with a message about being only an anonymous ftp server.

I did manage to get the video game transferred with tftp, after a bit of extra work. I don't know if it's the old OS/2 Warp tftp client, or part of the protocol, but it can only transfer files up to 33553920 bytes in size, i.e. 32 * 1024 * 1024 - 512 bytes. 32 megabytes looks like some sort of coded-in limit. I had to do the transfer in pieces less than 32 megabytes. I still want to get anonymous ftp working. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
