Most likely it will, but I suspect the problem is more in your streams configuration rather than ftp itself. Installing the package requires that you tune streams fairly carefully. Until I upgraded a large TCP/IP site from 2.0.2 to 2.2 I had the 1.2 TCP/IP working fine; telnet rcp & ftp. The only (!) problem I did have was not being able to access more than 17 telnet sessions. Attempting to do so caused the WD8003 card to lock up and cause panic traps when the system was being shut down. This particular problem was solved shortly after 2.2 was installed. david -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Unique Computing Pty Ltd Melbourne Australia - Communications Specialists david@csource.oz.au 3:632/348@fidonet 28:4100/1@signet
