Are you connected through a hub or a router. In any case if your computers are networked together, why do you need to use ftp at all. Setup the systems as nfs or if they are windows map the drives and you should not need ftp because you can access the files directly. The answer to your question is routing. If you are using a hub then you will not have the problem as long as the two computers have a common protocol to use (windows are using netbeui). -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
