If you need to close the connection so you can poff, say, I'd just quit with F10 and then mc again. > 2) I can not connect again to the server afterwards unless I exit mc and then > run it again. The reason for this is that mc will not agree to reopen the > connection since it knows that it was closed. I'm not sure what you mean here. My observations are a) if you move up off the top of the ftp tree (e.g. too many left arrow keystrokes), you can reconnect with F9 P without quoting the password, b) if the connection has timed out, you can reconnect by pressing Ctrl-R. Sometimes you get back an empty file list, in which case you can press Ctrl-R once more and it retries getting the list. (Repeat slowly if necessary, and watch the dialogue at the foot of the screen.)
