BINGO! all commands now work. I need to now research proFTP
configuration, I believe there is a setting regarding PASSIVE MODE.
Let's assume Windoze ftp program runs in passive mode by default(?)

Any security reasons to *not* set up the ftp server to default to
passive mode, or to accept passive mode connections (whichever the
config option is)? I suppse it's not a hardship to tell an FC3 ftp-er
(s)he needs to set passive mode on connection, I can even put it in
the Welcome message. (not that anyone ever reads it...). Setting
"binary" seems to be a better mode then ASCII too, which seems to be a
bad default.

The symptoms are the same using an identical FC3 machine on the same
LAN, from machine 10.0.0.11 to machine 10.0.0.10

Thanks!
