FTP and cross platform issues...

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi John,

Make sure that both the server and the client (Rev) are set to 
use either passive or active FTP. If you enable passive FTP, you 
have to set Rev's ftp mode to passive as well:

libURLSetFTPMode "passive"

You may have to set the socketTimeoutInterval to a really big 
number.

If you'd like to do a test, I'm working on an FTP client. 
Contact me off-list if you would like to give it a try.

Best,

Mark

I have tried Andre FTP utility, a couple others from the member area, my own hacks using the examples in the rev docs, and finally Chip's FTPer utility. None of them would work. The best I could see was that I was getting a time out error.
