[comp.unix.questions] Problems FTPing from 36.102.0.32

exnirad@brolga.cc.uq.oz.au (Nirad Sharma) (09/09/90)

Every time I try to FTP from 36.102.0.32 I get a "out of stream resources"
error. The host from which I am FTPing is fine (I have FTPed large files
recently). What's up ?  (transcript follows)

If this is a well-known problem with this server could someone inform me of
alternative means of getting to it, please.

Thanks for any help.

I have had a lot of problems ftp'ing the compiled emacs code (some 7mb)
from this site also.  It aborts the session with a time out.  (???)
I figured I would just try to compile the 18.55 sources and see what
happens.  This is just my 2 cents worth, I want to thank them for providing
the access, and I have gotten a lot of good from it.

The problem is that the ESIX ftp deamon will munch streams resouces when
talking to certain versions of ftp.  Sun OS 4.1 (I think) is the only
one that I'm sure causes the problem.  The only suggestion I can make
is to try a different computer/OS or get ESIX to fix the problem.

By the way ypig.stanford.edu (36.102.0.32) has been disconnected from the
net for about a week and will come back with a new IP number (36.103.?.?).
The name will still be ypig.stanford.edu, so If you use a nameserver, you
should not be affected.
