Subject: ftpconversions

Greetings,

I am attempting to get wu-ftpd 2.4 up and running on a SunOS 4.1.3
machine.  Everything is fine except the ftpconversions part.  I
created and installed a statically linked version of gnu tar.  But,
when I give a command such as:

    get weather.tar

where weather is a directory, I get the following result:

    550 weather.tar: No such file OR directory.

I know I probably can't expect an easy answer for "What am I doing
wrong?", but is there any techniques for debugging this thing to find
out why it is failing?  Any obvious pitfalls I should have a look at?

Thanks in advance,

Curt.

Am I correct in thinking that you expect this to retrieve the weather
directory and all it contents as a tar file?

If so then I don't think that what you have in mind is realistic.

Otherwise, please explain what it is you are trying to achieve.

A ls -Rla of your ~ftp directory structure might also be useful. In fact
more information in general would help.

Regards

Nathan
