Is it me, or are other people having problems FTPing to
abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov? I have been trying to FTP to it since
last weekend. I can log on as anonymous, I get the "message of the day",
then comes the coredump! Strage thing is, I can FTP to other sites with
no trouble at all. Anyone else having problems? Anyone have a clue
what's going on? I noticed that this started happening after the message
of the day was updated to include the stuff about uploading "questionable"
files.
Any ideas???? Thanks.....

I get the "message of the day", then comes the coredump! The ftp server on abcfd20 recognizes what host you're coming from and issues a coredump signal to your machine if it doesn't like the way you're dressed. :-) Actually, you're ftp client is broken. Apparently some ftp clients do not accept multiline responses (the message of the day, in your case) when they don't expect them. The message is legal according to the FTP RFC, so your client is broken. If you're on a UNIX machine that has sockets, get the freed version of ftp from uunet.uu.net (/bsd-sources/src/ucb, I think). I don't know for certain if that one does not have this bug, but it's worth a try. (If not, let me know.) Regardless, your system administrator should be made aware of this situation. ...tad

With the core dump it sounds like a system problem possibly. (Though I don't much about core dumps, I NEVER make mistakes because I don't want to deal with them :-) ) What I am having problems with is getting through to 'gtss.gatech.edu' (128.61.4.1) and 'ux1.cso.uiuc.edu' (128.174.5.54). Georgia Tech is suppose to have some AREXX archives but I've tried occasionally over the last year and have NEVER been successful on getting on. I think I have got on 'ux1' in the past but haven't been able to lately, even though I usually try very late or early in the day. Has anybody had success with these two? Sorry I couldn't help with abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov. Just ftp'd down about .75M less than a hour ago. ---Mike -- -------- o A herd of bagels | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD | | -- oo o o escaping from a deli. | DLA Systems Automation Center | | -- ooo oo Looking for Lox in | Cols, Ohio mfigg@dsac.dla.mil -------- o o all the wrong places | CIS: 73777,360

If I tried to ftp to a system and timed out, then the next system I would try to connect to would produce an immediate core dump on my system. But I have had no problem with abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov.
