All,

Most clients have the option of turning off passive transfers. I do not know about browsers and their options but I use gftp and depending on the site, conditions, or router/firewall settings, I can switch between passive and active ftp.

Please use anonymous FTP to log in, and then deposit data in the '/incoming' directory. I would appreciate a heads-up e-mail sent directly to me so I can effect a timely transfer of the files to the appropriate reposing place in /pub, else I'll do it as I have spare time and remember: It's not ingrained in long-term memory just yet to check daily...

Could not connect to that server Gerry.

Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www.first.aprs.net.

   *   Check the address for typing errors such as
         ww.example.com instead of
         www.example.com

The FTP server is at "first.aprs.net", not "www.first.aprs.net", and it's
FTP not a web site.  I was able to connect to it with an ftp client, but
unable to see anything in the "pub" directory (ls just sat there and thought a while). I'm assuming we're not going to be able to look at anything in /incoming (so that the site doesn't become a drop zone for pr0n).

Correct on both points. We're seeing some problems with passive FTP, so it might be best to use a command line client.
