I have noticed something strange when I ftp from a non-AFS machine to an AFS machine. I give the userid and password of the AFS machine which access ftpd.afs and authenticates the AFS user. However, when I begin to give ftp commands such as cd, pwd, ls, etc., it appears as though the responses lag the commands by several commands. For example, the following session shows what I mean: riosems% ftp rers02.re.deere.com Connected to rers02.re.deere.com. 220 rers02 FTP server (Version 4.162 Tue Nov 1 10:50:37 PST 1988) ready. Name (rers02.re.deere.com:emsuser): goeringh 331 Password required for goeringh. Password: 230 ftp> cd /bin }h ftp> ls 250 CWD command successful. 200 PORT command successful. ftp> ls 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. ftp> ls 226 Transfer complete. 200 PORT command successful. ftp> ls (. . .) ypcat ypmatch yppasswd ypwhich zcat 226 Transfer complete. ftp> This causes problems when a user attempts an ftp and doesn't wait for the responses to catch up. Sometimes they just ftp into a machine, cd, and get -- this doesn't always work. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to work around this problem?
