Yes - you may need to specify a little more about your operating environment, such as what browser you're using (which you did mention below, but not until the second message), if you are using any proxy settings, etc. Pertinent stuff. > In my browser I can put in the following URL The other thing is, don't use a browser, use a proper FTP client, and one that can support passive mode (I seem to recall some of the Windows FTP clients not supporting that mode, and that may be required through some firewalls). Certain, shall we say, popular browsers have always had an appalling implementation of FTP, with such gems as <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309816> (uses Active mode in folder view, despite passive being set). > But if I click on the "distrib" directory, it times out. > If I click on the "software" or the "dilbert.msgs" directories I get a > directory listing. If I had to hazard a guess, it's *possible* an upstream proxy get wedged retrieving the distrib folder. > If I had a firewall issue, wouldn't I typically get blocked from the > entire site ? Depends on what the firewall is doing to the traffic - it may not be a "binary" (either works or not) issue. In any case, as it appears to be working for quite a few other people (myself included) you may have to look closer to home for a solution. -- Regards, Daryl Tester "I'm beginning to wonder about Cap'n Snooze's military credentials." _______________________________________________ PyGreSQL mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.vex.net/mailman/listinfo/pygresql
