Yes, it's working, clue came from Michael who mentioned 'lib' as part of the files structure for anonymous ftp. It seems that RedHat requires the following libraries in /home/user/lib ld-2.0.5.so ld-linux.so.2 ---> linked to ld-2.0.5.so libc-2.0.5.so libc.so.6 ---> linked to libc-2.0.5.so I took a peek at RedHat's file structure for anonymous ftp ;-) thanks again to Michael and Igmar for continued ideas Graham > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Jinks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, May 21, 1998 20:48 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: FTP Only Access - getting closer > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Thanks to Derek, Igmar, Angus, and Derek .... my ftp access > is getting > > closer, but still not 100%. > > > > I now have a limited ftp account, but I cannot see the > directories!!
