So there's a site out there I want to snarf a lot of material from. Let's call it foobaz.net. (That's actually my domain, but for the purposes of this discussion, it's good enough.) While I was running Suse, I found that gftp just didn't work with that site for some reason, but xftp did. So I used xftp. But now I'm running Fedora, and xftp doesn't come with the distro, and I don't see it in the apt or yum repositories. When I ftp to the site, the system hangs when I attempt to do a "ls". This *only* happens (and it happens all the time) when I attempt to use Fedora gftp or even go to a shell prompt and run "ftp foobaz.net". What I see is: 331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password. Password: 230-Backup Copies for Licenced Use Only! 230 Anonymous user logged in. Remote system type is Windows_NT. ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,101,5,163). And then it hangs. If I let it sit long enough, it also disconnects. When I attempt to connect from a W2K machine, it can get through okay. It also worked with xFTP. So I decided to try installinf xftp on my box. Following the install directions, I first ran xmkmf, which ran without a problem. But then following it with the "make" command produces problems. They are: krikket@galactica:~/llnlxftp2.1/sources$ make gcc -m32 -O2 -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -c -o abort.o abort.c gcc -m32 -O2 -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -c -o aconnect.o aconnect.c In file included from aconnect.c:61: str.h:62:14: macro "strchr" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given In file included from aconnect.c:61: str.h:62: warning: built-in function `strchr' declared as non-function make: *** [aconnect.o] Error 1 krikket@galactica:~/llnlxftp2.1/sources$ Any thoughts on where to go from here? (Unfortunately, it's not really an option to d/l everything to the w2k machine, and then to the fedora box... Just because I can test things on a computer at work doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it for more than a short test...) Thanks in advance! Krikket
