Not the most important problem in the world to solve at the moment (I usually do this sort of stuff from my...cough...Windows NT box), but...
I use PlusNet to host my web site. Any ideas why I am unable to perform an "ls" or "dir" command (or anything really) when logged into my site via FTP using Terminal under Mac OSX 10.2.6 or 10.3.3, but both commands work fine when logged in using the DOS FTP client under Windows NT 4 or using the 3rd party FTP GUI app on the very same platform? In Terminal when I try either command I get a pause, a line "200 EPRT command successful" a very long pause and then a "421 Service not available...". Under Windows I get "200 PORT command successful". My knowledge of FTP isn't great, but this looks like some kind of active/ passive thing - does Terminal default to something that could be causing a problem? PlusNet support suggested a) a problem with the firewall on my Mac (I actually use an ADSL firewall router, which the NT box uses, so it can't be that), or b) a problem with Terminal. Useful.
