Linux FTP problem.

[Platypus]

For as long as I can remember, I have been able to download to my /mnt/windows.
However today, whenever I tried to transfer some files to my windows mount, it says pipe broken, try again in 30 seconds.
This goes on forever, however if I download to my native linux /home, it works. Why cant I download to my windows mount?
I am using GFTP.

Try using a command line client. Switching the download dir is done with the lcd command I think.

I dont know how to use command line FTP, and this should work. My question really, is why did it work for months, and then just decide not to work today?
Any program you recommend instead?

I *ONLY* use the command line ftp. Its easy, fast, and has never given me trouble.

heh, its kind of funny...i tried gftp (its the only one i ever heard of), and beleive it or not, i couldnt figure it out😛

it just seemed wierd and wouldnt cooperate, although i'm pretty impatient sometimes.

so i just typed "ftp" at the command line, and after a few minutes i figured out how to use the basic commands, and now its all i use in linux for ftp 😛

cracks me up, but then again my ftp needs are pretty simple, so all i really need to do is type "ftp" to run it, type "open" or "connect" (i forget which it is), then the address, log in, and do a "send" and give the locations.

man i'm ass backwards sometimes 😀

I use command line ftp in Windows too 😉

man ftp = simple fast and nice. It's not rocket science or anything so playing around with it for about 10-30 minutes and you should be ftp'ing with it with no problems at all.

ncftp is cool cause it has tab completion for remote files and directories.

That works with my OpenBSD command line ftp too. Well sometimes.
