Yes, WS-FTP, as well as XP DOS FTP.exe, as well as a program
I've compiled myself all connect and retrieve files and place files
with 100% accuracy. It is ONLY with Internet Explorer and Mozilla
and only when connecting to one particular site out of four sites that
there is a problem. Very odd.
I don't know what the difference would be between a browser
and manually sending the commands. That's about the ONLY
clue I that comes to mind. Would you know if there is a max.
length to the line IE (or other browser) might work with, ie:
ftp://uuuiiiddd:ppaasswwoorrdd@domainname.com
There is a very long UID and PASSWORD for the one that
has the problems.
I've been drawing blanks for a while. Would you know of a
tool that could be used to watch the data as it is being sent
out of the browser command line to the end server?
