With an old Debian distribution, lftp version 2.4.9 works with a .lftprc startup file. But with the same startup file copied to a fully up-to-date Debian distribution, lftp hangs at [Making data connection...]
step 1: $ lftp step 2: Password: foobar\n step 3: lftp ... :~> ls `ls' at 0 [Making data connection...] It sits at making data connection for minutes and minutes. With version 2.4.9 it works immediately. The software is the latest Debian software. Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ etch main deb-src http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ etch main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main Help.
