If ftp is what you have to work with, then you'll have to make that work. Assuming that ncftpget -R doesn't work because it's a cut down version of Red Hat Linux is a very bad assumption. For starters, calling it Red Hat Linux has both technical and legal ramifications. There's no such thing as a "cut down version". You either have a collection of packages that Red Hat provides - and you can choose which to install and which not to - or it's simply not Red Hat Linux. Telling us that it "doesn't seem to work" isn't very helpful. Either it works or it doesn't. If it doesn't work, what error messages do you get? Which ftp server is installed on the Snap server? Red Hat's standard server was wu-ftpd in earlier releaases of Red Hat Linux. In later releases, they changed to vsftpd. What version is installed? Are you using passive or active ftp? Are there firewalls between you and the Snap server? -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
