yeah, but I don't. BTW, many people advised on using gFTP, WXftp, IglooFTP,
as alternatives, even a java FTP bean. I haven't checked these out
yet but I will, I will...

this is interesting. Are you using a special shell? I just use the
default bash shell provided with Slackware 3.6, which is a fairly
recent distribution. I have encountered "arg list too long" errors on
other uses than ftp as well, but I always have a
work-around... (except my work-around for Ncftp is to reboot to
windows98 :)RL ).

That's a dangerous thing to say to a devout Java-Linux newsgroup
reader!
just kidding... I ain't offended. I love linux, but there are many
instances where linux lets me down. I use what works, and if this
means using Win98, then so be it.
