XEmacs ftp too smart for the Irish mirror

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! The current XEmacs from CVS has trouble with modes, so I decided to upgrade some packages to see whether it helps - only to find it isn't possible to use the Irish mirror site (I didn't try xemacs.org yet). The ftp conversation is below - it seems that XEmacs does get the directory listing, but it certainly doesn't show it - the Tools|Packages|List and Install command ends with "FTP Error: DIR failed: 500 Unknown command.". === end *ftp anonymous(a)ftp.ie.xemacs.org* === open ftp.ie.xemacs.org open ftp.ie.xemacs.org Connected to ftp.esat.net. 220 Welcome to ftp.esat.net quote user "anonymous" quote user "anonymous" ftp> quote user "anonymous" 331 Please specify the password. ftp> quote pass Turtle Power! quote pass vb(a)linux.local 230 Login successful.
