Possibly, tho I seem to recall that http uses port 80 and ftp uses

can sometimes use, right? For some reason, I'm thinking it was more
this than what you said. Or maybe this is just semantics (i.e. 80 =
http, ??? = https, etc.). But what I seem to recall is that FileHound
would try different port numbers. In fact, it may even have tried the
ftp port number automatically instead of the http port number, even when
you fed it an http URL. (Certainty of recollection on this point is
somewhat slim.)

Ahhhh, thank you for that link, Carl. What a nice stroll down a
pleasant memory lane. I had forgotten many of the other nice things
about that program. But virtually every detail listed there was
something I was grateful to have in that program. It doesn't appear to
have much now that it didn't have then. Last time I used it was
probably about 5 to 7 years ago. (I'm *still* wishing that it would be
available on Linux.)
