I've noticed the following irritating behavior when using ftp to emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu: [typed in from memory] ftp> ls [two afs error messages] [normal list of files] alpha-patches: Permission denied ftp> ls misc 226 Transfer complete 200 PORT command successful ftp> rhelp 150 Opening data connection for /bin/ls ([goop]) (0 bytes). ftp> As you can see, my ftp UA and the ftpd are now hopelessly out of sync. I have the following reason to believe that the problem is not in my UA since almost all of it is stock 4.3bsd-reno, and I have had no other problems with it. [Well, I have had similar problems with other hosts, but only ones at CMU.] It would make dealing with this server much easier if you were to fix it. [It looks to me like AFS doesn't allow you to stat() files you don't have access to, thus screwing the long listing...? Though why the 226 doesn't come through immediately I don't know. Perhaps the data connection is getting closed before the 226 gets through.] If there's anyone else who has had this problem... -GAWollman

I've had it FTPing stuff from "emsworth" while logged into
"uunet.uu.net". It *appears* to be triggered by doing listings, but the
evidence there is only circumstantial, and it doesn't happen all the
time.
