Re: Windows FTP


Yes, we do. :) But they were written in 1998 and I can't get them to
build in Windows against KfW.

NCSA had mods to the MIT ftp to run under Windows a few years ago, that
worked
with We used to use them. Goole for: ncsa ftp kerberos

http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/UserInfo/Resources/Software/kerberos/ncsa_faq.html



Some of my users have a need for a Windows FTP client that works with KfW.
Wait, it gets better.

The only two I'm familiar with are FileZilla and Kermit 95. The problem is
that the specialized server they need to connect to doesn't support the ftp
PROT command (ie, unencrypted data streams only). So while the unix
command line 'ftp' works, 'ftp -x' does not. I don't have any control over
the server in question, so I can't just upgrade that side.

Enter FileZilla. When contacted about adding an option to remove PROT, I
was told they are likely to be removing GSS support entirely due to the
lack of a test environment.

Enter Kermit 95. They do have an option for PROT 'clear', but issuing PROT
still causes the server to respond with an error. The biggest problem
here, of course, is that Kermit costs money so I haven't contacted them
about the option I need yet.

Are there any other FTP clients out there that work with KfW? Command line
is fine. I'm willing to put in some time on this, but to be honest I'm not
an applications programmer. I'm definately not a Windows developer.
