My (very quick) assessment is that urlgrabber requires urllib which in turn requires lowerlevel libs to do the actual work.. In the case of ftp, the lower level lib is ftplib, which has a set_pasv() call, but was never documented in urllib/ftplib until 1.5.2 (eg: after yum....) not sure what the deal is with python2. All this infeered from a quick scan fo the source and http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/1999-August/000095.html Anyway..

I think that firewall==NAT and possibly the gateway doesn't have one of the standard ftp modules laoded... I partly was thinking that the ability to do PASV was/should be there, perhaps wrongly? -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby <nhruby@xxxxxxx> uga enterprise information technology services production systems support metaphysically wrinkle-free -------------------------------------------
