Anyone have some understanding of the arrangements here? Thanks Kit
Tony,
Is that a configurable option on wu-ftpd? I do not understand why it has not consistently been a problem. The issues that others have with accessing the site seem to come and go, which sounds like it relates to an option being switched on and off at different times (or at reboots?)
I believe a number of other folks in RePEc are quite familiar with wu-ftpd, so I'm not sure why this would be problematic in our case, unless we have ours configured in some custom way.
Thanks Kit

After a bit of googling,
It turns out that solaris and aix ftp's send a NLST for a ls command, while linux and osx (bsd) send a LIST command. Both send LIST for a dir. solaris and aix expect LIST to be equivalent to Unix ls -lA, and they expect NLST to be equivalent to ls (with no options).
wu-ftpd which is what (I think) FTPEAGLE is running, interprets LIST and NLST differently from most ftp servers, and only sends regular file names back for a NLST. This was apparently a design decision, and is controversial.
