ftp: connect: Connection refused

Don't use csh. Redirection in general stinks with csh. I used to be a die hard csh fan and had to relearn shell altogether to utilize posix and ksh when I realized that csh wasn't any good.

seems stderr (2) is not mapped correctly with the ksh and ftp when I do an ls zzz 2> fout it reports correct I would expect that the ftp message Login incorrrect is also redirected to 2.
