CompuServe Drives: Custom firmware?

Rich, I also had difficulty with the FTP, but trying to use Filezilla. I specified remote system type VMS for lack of any other filezilla OS that would take PS:<x.x.x> file names. I got a good anonymous session, but the PWD command was rejected by the server, and at that point Filezilla has a hissy fit and stops. I used the server->custom command to try to issue a LIST and NLST command to the server, but it was having none of that, and those commands time out after about 15 seconds. The linux command line FTP works fine. I wonder if Cory's problem was / is an active vs. passive issue? Does your firewall allow passive connections? (I think those are the ones which drill back at the server IP and expect to get another socket). I've had problems with that in the past, and have had to fiddle with various clients to get the right combination for the server.

But on the Filezilla problem, I am not sure what the "dir" command on the linux command line client translates to that works, whereas issuing that as a custom command it is rejected. I just used mget to grab the documentation from the command line, so problem solved anyway.

BTW with various people looking for Panda, I've not found anything, but am not giving up. I could swear I found access to it some time ago and got some stuff downloaded. thanks Jim
