Yes, I have the same problem. With Netscape on Macinstosh or Unix (Solaris).
I sent a few days ago a private e-mail to George about this and he
answered that I was the only one to have this problem. He told me that
ftp://gimps:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/gimps/programs.txt works
and that ftp://gimps:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/programs.txt dit not work with
Internet Explorer on his computer.
I would probably consider this a bug in Internet Explorer.
