This is turning into a nightmare: I've banked on
rebol (and advertised it) as a medium for a project
for fire safety here in the State Of Alaska. I've
run into a dead-end, and despites some helpful
hints from the mailing list, I'm dead in the water.
Here's where I am at right now: I've gone from attempting
to append to a text file in a site where I've got
privileges to testing a site with anonymous access.
code:

REBOL

Title: "Test FTP Access now"
Date: 28-Jan-2000
Author: "Tim Johnson"
Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
File: %Test.r
Purpose:{To test FTP Access, for fire saftety site project}

site: ftp://jazz.trumpet.com.au/
print site
read site

rebol returns:

I'm just flabbergasted here. If one refers to users\NETFTP.HTML
and goes to the documentation: the following text is read
by me
Authentication
Networking must be configured to connect to remote sites. If the remote
site accepts anonymous login and the FROM email address has been
configured, simply executing the expression
read ftp://host.com/
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;using:
dir-list: load site
;returns
** User Error: Server error: tcp 500 Illegal PORT Command.
** Where: dir-list: load site
;;looking at the documentation again I see the following:
Reading, Traversing And Creating Directories
Both read and load can be used to retrieve a directory listing:
dir-list: load ftp://host.com/
;; yet in both cases I get error messages
