I have used chyde : As some users have now pointed out there are problems with the ls and dir commands when connecting by anonymous ftp to garbo.uwasa.fi archives, where we have just moved. At times they work, at times they don't. And it's not only that, as you'll see. (The problems have obviously something to do with running out of sockets when there is load). As a temporary remedy I suggest the following. First get the file list, since it shows where the files are located without having to use ls or dir. Then get the file you want. Here are a couple of sample sessions. As you can observe, the get commands were not immediately successful because of load problem, but by trying repeatedly I got what I wanted. > ftp garbo.uwasa.fi Connected to garbo.uwasa.fi. 220 garbo FTP server (from 4.3BSD Tahoe) ready.
