Michael, Just noticed that the url used in ncftp is slightly different than the one fed to yum. ftp://reader.local.net0:~/no_bak/fedraw should have been ftp://reader.local.net0:/home/reader/no_bak/fedraw And with that change ncftp fails with a change dir error too: NcFTP 3.1.8 (Jul 27, 2004) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/contact/). Connecting to reader.local.net0... (vsFTPd 2.0.1) Logging in... Login successful. Logged in to reader.local.net0. Could not chdir to home: server said: Failed to change directory. Current remote directory is /home/reader. A further note is that the server with the yum repo is running vsftpd-2.0.1-2
