i have tried to ftp egcs from the cambridge.cygnus.com site as per your
download web page.but i continually get a failureto complete the login
when i use ncftp.
the reported error is:
ncftp> open egcs
Connecting to
192.80.44.1...
tweedledumb.cygnus.com FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
Logging
in...
Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
Logged in to
cambridge.cygnus.com.
Could not get remote working directory: server said: .
can this be fixed so that downloads can be done with a reasonable ftp
client rather than netscape?
thanks....

If I had a clue what the problem was, then I'd try:
Connected to tweedledumb.cygnus.com.
220 tweedledumb.cygnus.com FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
Name (cambridge.cygnus.com:law): ftp
331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.
Password:
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

cd 250 CWD command successful.
ftp> egcs
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.

It works for a traditional ftp client, netscape, I don't see anything weird
with the cambridge setup. I don't know what to do.

I guess "pwd" doesn't work (ncftp does this). Are the permissions
on all paths correct (i.e. rx?)
In any case, ncftp users can ignore that error safely.

The permissions are correct, however, the ftpd we're using calls
getcwd, which calls popen("pwd"), which tries to invoke "/bin/sh -c
pwd", and after chroot into ~ftp there is no /bin/sh.
We could use getwd, but it takes no length argument, so we'd have to
check that the SunOS implementation has no buffer overflow problems.
Maybe we can grab the newlib getcwd instead.
Sigh.
For now, yes, just ignore the problem.
