Thanks for the link - some of that document seems to make sense to me :-) Just tried again under 10.3.3 - here's what I see once I've logged in: ftp> ls 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||4114|) 200 EPRT command successful 421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed I missed the "229 Entering Extended Passive Mode" last time, but I can't decide whether it's this or the extremely long delays that are causing the problem. Maybe the two are related. Like I said, not important - I occasionally dive into the command line to check things on the web site via FTP and this was the first time I'd tried it on the Mac. When I have more time I'll investigate further.
