Re: ftp and netscape

[Chris Cameron <chris@UpNIX.com>]

Charles,

I'd check what Netscape was sending for anonymous logins. I imagine you
can either set it in the prefrences somewhere, or stick the login in
the URL.

That may not be the problem, but if you check you ftpd logs it should
mention failed login attempts.

Hope that helps,
Chris
