Re: FTP Bugs

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	Well, most of the FTP bugs are due to the ftp library erroring
 out on all kinds of conditions; I have now arranged to trap the
 error-exits. Since the library exits on all kinds of non-nominal
 conditions, it is not ewasy to know which one is OK (like, a time
 out), so I have done little apart from exiting while displaying all
 possible information.

	Is it possible that the voluminous error messages are
 themselves a problem? I can try and be very quiet about the error
 condition bubbling up through the layers of library code, if desired.

	I am less than pleased at the behaviour of the FTP library,
 and I think I would like to forward some of the bugs upstream, or at
 least tell the upstream author about the behaviour of the library
 when stress tested like this.

	manoj
