Are you sure this is a new behavior?  Were you previously using cygwin's ftp 
and are now using MS's?

Many window's programs don't work properly through cygwin's ptys.  The 
result can be that the process seems to just hang when it should be 
prompting for input.

Now that you mention it, I must be running MS's ftp.  This is a new
behavior, though (not necessary a bad one now that I know I was using MS's
ftp).  I have used ftp through xterm many many times in the past, and tried
to ftp into GNU.org literally right after finishing installing Cygwin
updates (unfortunately, I cannot remember all of the packages I
downloaded...there may have been some X packages).

Anyway, I tried installing ncftp to make sure I am not using MS's ftp and
all seems well again.

Thanks for the help.

FTP and xterm in 1.5.16...

2005-05-14 Thread Randy Widell 
After upgrading to 1.5.16, Cygwin seems to just hang when using 'ftp' in 
xterm.  Oddly enough, the problem does not occur when running a shell 
through the Windows command window instead of xterm.

I tried installed the latest snapshot of Cygwin1.dll as per someone's 
solution to fix a problem with 'read()' in xterm.  This did not solve my 
problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
