Next you wrote "dir" while still being in the ftp home directory. The listing ended with "alpha-patches: Permission denied" which is where ftp goes totally crazy. It won't do anything right after that. My suggestion is that CMU either fix ftp or remove the alpha-pathces file/directory from ~ftp, siche no one needs it anymore. You probably should do both.
