Hope this wasn't mentioned on the list before: You're entering a password that doesn't look like an email address. If you're using a crappy browser which doesn't understand how anonymous ftp works (wouldn't be surprised if it's IE) try one of the following: o Use http. IE is well-known for crappy ftp implementations. http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/msx/ o Tell IE to use a proxy. Let a proxy do ftp since ftp is apparently too much for it. o Use a proper ftp client and enter your email address as the password (or something that looks like a password). o If memory serves me correctly, there is an option in IE which you should check: "Send email address as anonymous ftp password". IE is very good at rendering html, but there's loads of stuff it doesn't do very well. Sean -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
