Hi,

I'm still at a loss with this ftp server.

I have even tried turning off my firewall software - but nothing seems to
make a difference:

C:\Documents and Settings\driesseaftp ftp.lyx.org
Connected to durga.via.ecp.fr.

And after a long delay:

Connection closed by remote host.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Anton

 Hi,

 The site ftp.lyx.org doesn't seem to be responding to my home computers.
  All I get is the response connected to durga.via.ecp.fr and then
 nothing happens.  I can ftp to other sites.  I have also downloaded lyx
 using my work computer, and managed to install it at home, but when the
 installer tries to get the spell checkers using ftp, it hangs also.

 Any ideas why this might be?

 Thanks!

 Anton

You're using the DOS ftp client, right?  Just tried it from here 
(Michigan, USA) and it worked fine -- twice.  Time is about 1500 GMT (or 
Coordinated Universal Time, or whatever it's called these days).


Connection closed by remote host usually means that either the host is 
having a bad day (software problems maybe) or it's currently overworked. 
 So it may be you're trying at peak busy times.  Other than trying at 
an off time, the only thing I can suggest is to ping and maybe 
traceroute it.  Try


C:\whereverping ftp.lyx.org

and watch the output.  The main concern is lost packets; round trip time 
is secondary.  DOS will automatically send four pings (you can adjust 
the number, but no need to).  I pinged the server just now and got four 
answers (0% loss) with an average round trip of 121 ms. (which is not 
bad).  If the ping output shows packet losses, there may be a problem 
between you and the server, in which case


C:\wherevertracert ftp.lyx.org

may show you where the problem is (not that the information will do you 
much good, unless it's in the first one or two hops).  Traceroute 
basically pings every router between you and the target, sequentially.

 Hi,

 Thanks for responding.  Yes, ping and tracert work fine:  I can see the ftp
 server and it responds.  Using my firewall's packet log I can even see that
 the ftp server responds with at least one packet.  From there on
 everything's a mystery!

Are you sure your connection from service provider is able to handle
FTP protocol? Have you ever used FTP for other sites? What is
happening when you use telnet ftp.lyx.org 21?
