[comp.sys.mips] ftpd problems with 4.501

rossc@extro.ucc.su.oz.au (Ross Cartlidge) (11/23/90)

When we upgraded our M/2000 from 4.01 to 4.51 RISC/OS
we noticed an intermittent problems with ftpd.
Sometimes when you try to get a file or directory listing
the following error occurs:_

ftp> ls
425 Can't build data connection: Interrupted system service.
ftp>

The frequency of the problem is higher if the delay is higher -
ie, You almost never see it locally but almost always on
a trans-pacific hop. If anyone wants to try it just
try anon ftp to extro.ucc.su.oz.au.

Interestingly, our M/120 has the same problem but
a Magnum in another department seems to work.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
