The installation The last time I did this, it took a little fiddling around to figure out what path the installation was expecting. What I ended up doing was turning on complete debugging on the ftp server end, so I would see things like Apr 6 18:11:06 vinyl ftpd[94368]: command: CWD public_html in syslog. I then just matched the path to what the installation was expecting. Also, if you are doing a fresh install, consider the 4.x branch. It is generally as stable as the 3.x branch and has a few more nice features in it. Some specific types of older hardware seem to cause a few people problems, but other than that, go for 4.x. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
