Alexander,

There is a lftp bug, I believe. It has been there for a number of
versions.  I just keep forgetting to mention it.

The bug is really simple.  Go to any location you want.  Then do a "cd
xzy" where "xyz" directory does not exist.  LFTP goes into retry mode
when it is unseccessful in changing into a direcory that does not
exist.  I would suggest stringly that lftp should know if the
directory exists or not.  If not it should never get into a retry mode
to change to that directory.

Please note: You may experience delays in my replies.  I will
             reply.

             This is due to major restoration activity to my riser
             section of the building.

             My internet access will be limited to a couple weekday
             evenings.  Weekend access will be a bit better but
             limited as an indirect consequence of the restoration
             work.

             If for any reason you need a more immediate reply or
             fail to receive a reply, please phone and leave a
             message.  If you do leave a phone message, please note
             that I may not be able to hear the message and/or
             reply until the evening.  This will be due to the
             extensive noise levels of the restoration work
             activity drowning out most other volume levels of
             sound.

             The work starts 22 July 2002.  Based on similar
             experience to other sections of the building I would
             estimate the major noise element of the work to be
             about 4+ weeks for my riser.  There will be secondary
             instances once other ajacent riser sections are done
             that will have a similar impact, but for lessor
             periods of time.

             My appologies in advance, but this is mandated work
             that must be done.
