Can anyone see where I'm going wrong.
I'm behind a NAT box which precludes my use of active-FTP but not
passive. I have verified this both with Windows based FTP clients and
with the latest unmasked "vanilla" ftp from portage. When I try to use
ncftp, however, I run into difficulties:
I think you need to set passive on before you do any data transfers. I
know that with my copy, ncftp will hang while waiting on a active
transfer to finish. I normally have to terminate the program (CTRL-Z ;
jobs -l ; kill $PID). However, I've been able to set the passive option
before I've transfered any files.
You can also try "wget" if you know the file path, and just want to
retreive a file.
