OK. So I tried to think of what could account for HTTP working and FTP not. So I thought "firewall." But I had not changed my firewall configuration in weeks, yet the FTP access to ftp4.gwdg.de stopped working yesterday. Nonetheless, I checked it out. I found that, as I remembered configuring it, output FTP connections were permitted and inbound were not. So on a lark, I enabled inbound ones, too (I don't run an FTP server). Now I can connect to via FTP to ftp4.gwdg.de. So, has the configuration of the FTP server on ftp4.gwdg.de changed? Is it now using passive mode FTP where it was not before? By the way, the FTP side of the Guru's RPM repository still has packages that are not available via the HTTP server (e.g., baobab and knmap), which was why I changed from the HTTP to the FTP server in the first place. > Regards > Craig Randall Schulz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
