Observations about the RH ftp server:

1) Slower than a snail.  Doing a simple cd takes a minute to perform:

        ncftp / > cd pub/redhat/linux/7.1

2) Getting a directory listing from a large directory always times out:

        ncftp ...en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS > dir perl*
        Data connection timed out.
        List failed.

At this point I might as well close the connection because:

        [next attempt hangs ncftp]

The server has been like this for quite a while now.
