I have just gotten version 2.3b11 of NCSA Telnet up and running,
and everything seems pretty good, except for a serious problem
I've encountered with the FTP program: when I log in and do
a "put" command to transfer from my PC to a Sun host (running
Sun/OS 4.0.3), about two hashmarks ("#") appear, then the transfer
hangs up. The Sun shows the file as 0-length. I can ^C-Break
to stop FTP, but shortly afterwards my PC usually locks up,
requiring a reboot. I'm using version 7.0 of the Clarkson packet
drivers for the 3-Com 3C505 Ethernet board on the PC, which is
a CompuAdd 12 Mhz. clone. The FTP "get" and "mget" commands
seem fine. The FTP "put" and "mput" used to work just fine
under NCSA v. 2.2.
Have I encountered a new or known bug, or is there perhaps
something wrong with my configuration?

In addition, the first non-beta 2.3 release is supposed to be out "by the end of the year". Finally, if you absolutely, positively can't live without a working FTP in the meantime, but want to use the 2.3b11 stuff rather than going back to the the (almost completely working) 2.2 release, someone has sent me a patch for this problem which, pending receipt of this person's permission, I could post here or redistribute by e-mail. -- David R.

The transfer fails both with the 3C501 and decnet drivers (built-in drivers). I would say there is a bug still here. Ian.
