ftp:// in AWeb

Hi all,

Just noticed that AWeb ("AWeb retrieve") produces DSI errors whith ftp sites.
Is there any cure I missed?

@Jack

You did not include your AWeb version and date... We can say you that a bug was found in older version that was corrected in newest if we don't know that

@abalaban

Oops, was going to, forgot:
3.5.08 April 5 2006

Oops again, it isn't the lastest, will check ftp with the newer one.

Apologies...

@Jack

A bug was found inthe ftp module when it was trying to open the dialog to ask for authentication. This bug did not happen when you had the required authentication saved in AWeb (i.e. the bug was really caused by the window opening).
Normally this bug was corrected at last in the newest beta, but it seems to me it was a little more before.

@abalaban

No crashes with new one/
So far I tried anonymous sites and found:

ftp://hyperion-entertainment.biz/
(can't follow into the directory inside. cmdline ftp works)



and this:

ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de//pub/comp/tex/teTeX
(cmdline ftp goes there without problems..)
