Try an ftp command normally: ftp http://www.tedunangst.com/favicon.ico Trying 208.82.130.146... Requesting http://www.tedunangst.com/favicon.ico 100% |************************| 1106 00:00 1106 bytes received in 0.00 seconds (6.13 MB/s)
OK. Looks good. Now try logging it. ftp http://www.tedunangst.com/favicon.ico > log 2>&1 cat log 1106 bytes received in 0.00 seconds (11.59 MB/s) Trying 208.82.130.146... Requesting http://www.tedunangst.com/favicon.ico What? It's backwards! This certainly does not make log inspection any easier.
