Also, Netscape (and other browsers) open and close the ftp connection for each transfer, whereas the standard ftp clients maintain the control connection for the entire session. This means that your browser must *fight* the traffic for each directory listing, file transfer, etc. > And what about "try connecting from another domain" ??? > Could anybody tell me how can it be done ??? > Well, I suppose you could telnet somewhere and ftp from there...or X Netscape back to your display...Hmmm. Ugly, anyway you look at it. cppc
