Anne, I was hijacking the thread for an unrelated question. My problem was when trying to connect to another site which _does_ need a username and password (ftp.ntlworld.com). I typed them into the fields in the gFTP interface, but the log showed it was trying to connect as anonymous. I used ncftp to do what I needed, but when you mentioned that you use gFTP I thought you might have met my problem before. Sorry I wasn't clearer.
