Apparently you had a waaaay better clue than me; I never did actually accessed ftp with ftpfs before I encountered this message, no even one single server. > Might the problem be that ftpfs does not especially much like wu-ftpd? > The debian site runs some proftpd, Trustix has "Version 6.5/OpenBSD, > linux port 0.3.2", while the Norwegian sunsite has wu-2.6.1(2). > Tests against other wu-ftp servers seem to show the same "Gratuitous > error". > > I remember some talk when wu-2.6.0 or something was released about the > fact that it's implementation of ftp had some quirks that made it > incompatible with some clients.

I tried that same server a one other running wu and it would stall and eventually give a a gratutious error while doind a cd. BTW, any info on how to rm the dirs that filed? After reboot they are all gone, but in the same session they stay there ad eternum, appearing and giving errors at every ls. I have tried rm, rm -f, rmdir, a different settrans, kill and kill -9 to the translator attached, and no results; it's either busy or it's unable to unlink. Best Regards, fsm -- Frederico S.
