How on earth did you get windoze to be an FTP server? What program? FWIW, I ftp to my freebsd box from win95 often. Hit the silly button in the corner, click on run and type 'ftp' in there. Treat it much like a real ftp client, but *caution!* remember to tell it whether binary or ascii before each file transfer, coz if you give it half a chance it'll do you in. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
