Quoting from [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s message (05-Sep-00 20:15:27).
p> However, I am confused as to why a REBOL read operation would be denied because of
attemting to *write* on the port.
p>>> read ftp://ftp_xing:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't explain the problem fully, but maybe I can focus it a little.
It would appear that REBOL thinks ftp_xing is the entire address you're trying to
connect to, using port [EMAIL PROTECTED] or port carpet12, which I bet don't
exist. (-:
Confront these (broken for clarity):
ftp:// ftp_xing : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ftp:// ftp.null.com : 1234
I guess (since I don't know how REBOL's FTP works internally) the write-io is just
necessary to *send* username, password and generally commands to the FTP server. After
all, you have to send them somehow, no? :-)
