Hi,

Word of caution. FTP transmits in the clear over the network (same goes with TELNET). Furthermore, you are FTP'ing using your root account. This is extremely insecure.

I would suggest that you switch to using SSHD2 on your server and get an SFTP2 client. PuTTY is one free SSH2 client for Windows. You can download the free add-on (can't remember the name off-hand) to run SFTP.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi (better late than never)
Your problem is probably the LANG setting on your machine
Cuteftp hates anything but C.
the only way I,ve found of
getting Cuteftp to show me a Dirtectory listing is to
change the basic setting in
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG.
Change the setting from (for example)
#
export LANG=de_DE.iso88591
export LANG

to

# LANG is not set.
#
#export LANG=de_DE.iso88591
#export LANG

This will only work after the next reboot !!!

There's probably a way to unset the LANG variable for ftp but I haven't found it

hope that helps
cheers
