Hello

I have logged onto ftps before, but never an anonymous one. I need to log into ftp://archive.progeny.com/ I can view the files with mozilla, no passwords needed. I will be using wget, but initially I want to loggon with ncftp, which I have used before.

I have tried

web@debian:~$ ncftp -u anonymous  ftp://www.progeny.com
NcFTP 3.1.3 (Mar 27, 2002) by Mike Gleason (ncftp@ncftp.com).
Could not connect to 216.37.46.132 -- try again later: Connection timed out. Could not connect to 216.37.46.132 -- try again later: Connection timed out. Could not connect to 216.37.46.132 -- try again later: Connection timed out. Could not connect to 216.37.46.132 -- try again later: Connection timed out. Redialing (try 4)... web@debian:~$

ncftp without any option will get you into any anonymous ftp server...
(as stated in the manpage, IIRC)

[nodens@clement nodens]$ ncftp archive.progeny.com
