Hi Carl,

I've just hit the same problem (1.2.10.3.1 on Windows2000), so it's not 
just you ;)

>> read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public_html/aa/
connecting to: www.site.com.au
** Access Error: Port none not open
** Where: parse-dir-list
** Near: read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public_html/aa/

You can "avoid" the error by wrapping it in an attempt block

>> attempt [read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public_html/aa/]
connecting to: www.site.com.au
== none

which then lets you handle empty dirs as follows:

        attempt [blk: read dest]
        if not none? blk [
                foreach file blk [
                        ...

but I am finding the whole REBOL ftp thing a bit flaky (empty dirs or not) 
with various port errors cropping up at weird places (almost like once a 
port error occurs then all downstream operations are impacted). Need to 
look at this a bit more before giving up on the whole excercise (trying to 
do a simple FTP sync script in REBOL that actually works).


Regards,

        Ashley
