Alan,

        I'm not sure what it was.  There were only two directories
"images" and "Server".  No subdirectories.

From a Linux FTP client point of view:

Linux FTP server:

Windows FTP server:

ftp> ls

(it hangs at this point)

It would be nice to know if the RHEL installation media (CD, DVD, .iso)
contains any soft (symbolic) links.  I think Windows supports only ISO
9660:1999 with Joliet extensions.  This means that Windows will read a
symlink literally - it won't follow the link.

It is also possible that the FTP server doesn't like subdirectories more
than 8 deep (the limit of the older ISO 9660 spec).

You'd have to see the actual FTP failure or failing file to really know
why.
