[comp.sys.atari.st] FTP strangeness at dsrgsun

jensting@skinfaxe.diku.dk (Jens Tingleff) (05/07/90)

When doing anonymous FTP to dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu, I can't get any
response to the ``dir'' or ``ls -l'' commands. FTP opens an
ASCII mode connection, waits, and reports that the transmission
is terminated; no data is written to the screen.

The reason I'm posting here is that the problem may be dependent
on my site (diku.dk, Denmark), and I'd like to know if any others 
have the same problem.

The problem is really bad when the README file is not updated,
and you can't even see the date of any files that may be new and
interesting..... .

Yep. I've the same problem here. Even a simple "ls" fails from one
of our systems (Harris HCX-9). Judging from the fancy message of the
day that is displayed at dsrgsun, Bammi must be running a hacked up
version of FTP; it's probably just a bit to much hacked up ;-)
