Greg: Sorry, wrong answer, please try again! Actually these 4 websites encourage you to use FTP and tools such as WS-FTP work great. All of these sites have tutorials telling the you how to use FTP. Some of them even have a special FTP url to use (which works great with WS_FTP or FTP from the DOS prompt /UNIX prompt) However, after trying dozens of possibilities, I cannot get REBOL to work with the two sites (mentioned below). I am encouraging this discussion to get the final bugs worked out of REBOL's ftp, after which either they will release a REBOL/core patch, or I will document everything in a tutorial or both. Hint, you may actually have to register for your own websites (see below) to resolve these issues. Only by banging on many FTP sessions/servers did I discover these "bugs". > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2000 3:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [REBOL] Problems with FTP - Get 4 free websites if you solve > this puzzle Re:(2) > > > As suspected, the two sites you have problems with are not > allowing straight > FTP.
