My two favorite ftp[fish] sites have gone away recently. I have been patiently waiting for their return to no avail. (128.174.73.105 and 128.174.237.1 ) Anyone know the story on these previously reliable sites? Where else can I find the fish archives? ----- J.

(Because second I'm going to complain ;) It seems like your ftp server has some broken software. Specifically, ls doesn't recognise any flags. Also, it doesn't seem to understand wildcards at all (when used with the 'mget' command). It'd be swell if you could fix that (especially the wildcards). >***************************************************************************** >* Michael Pins (Firestar) | Internet: mtpins@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu * >* ISCA's Amiga Librarian | <insert std disclaimer here> * >***************************************************************************** Dave Schaumann | We've all got a mission in life, though we get into ruts; dave@cs.arizona.edu | some are the cogs on the wheels, others just plain nuts. -Daffy Duck.

Also, it doesn't seem to understand wildcards at What flags are you using? It seems that isca is defaulted to 'prompt off'. If you are coming in with the -i option, you are turning it back on. > all (when used with the 'mget' command). This one is a real problem (and one that I wasn't aware of, thanks for the tip) I'll talk to the system ghod and try to get that fixed ASAP. I'll also try to convince him to default to 'prompt on', since the rest of the world seems to do it that way. > > It'd be swell if you could fix that (especially the wildcards). > Agreed. I'll leave a note here as soon as we get it fixed. -- ***************************************************************************** * Michael Pins (Firestar) | Internet: mtpins@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu * * ISCA's Amiga Librarian | <insert std disclaimer here> * *****************************************************************************

We're still working on fixing wildcards. I'll post a note as soon as I here it is fixed (hopefully tonight sometime) -- ***************************************************************************** * Michael Pins (Firestar) | Internet: mtpins@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu * * ISCA's Amiga Librarian | #include <std disclaimer> * *****************************************************************************
