I cannot get past the first line. When I hit <ENTER> to add the next line of input I get this error >>> from urlgrabber.grabber import URLGrabber Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named urlgrabber.grabber Does something else need to be loaded first? Or am I entering it wrong" I typed `python' <ENTER> from urlgrabber.grabber import URLGrabber <ENTER> > 2) Try your url with another client.

The url scheme works ok with ncftp: ncftp -u xxxxx -p xxxxx ftp://reader.local.net0:~/no_bak/fedraw Lands me inside the /home/reader/no_bak/fedraw directory which is really a symlink to /mnt/pack/fedraw What else can I do to help with this?
