I don't really have a proxy. I have a linksys DSL/Cable Router doing NAT and I put my iMac out in the DMZ. I don't have a test set up to see what LWP is complaining about. ftp, ncftpget, etc. all work from the command line. If there were an option to say just use ncftpget and don't use LWP::Agent everything would work. I am somewhat suspicious that this has something to do with the Dec 2002 developer tools; but I have no evidence. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
