DOS (PC) FTP server testing needed

Oh, I'm aware of it. But I use wget or lftp when I want to be recursive, Filezilla for testing with a typical GUI client, MS Win XP command line for testing with a primitive client, at least three different browsers (IE, FireFox, and Chrome), two different file manager/browsers on Android, and the straight FTP command line clients on any Linux box I have laying around in the house at the moment. You get the idea - there are almost as many clients as people. I even got a report over at VC forums that somebody used curl to mirror it. Somebody else we both know tried using straight Telnet and sending raw commands, but probably had problems getting the data transfers setup. If it is easy I would like a log - this email address is fine for it. I can also recreate it here if I need to dig further. But I still can't imagine how this is anything but a client problem at this point. Maybe something I'm doing is confusing it, but that's a badly behaved client if it just starts automatically invoking tar for you. Mike
