Just pointed my setup.exe to Harold's ftp server and I get no response from
it. I can access it from ncftp and get
ncftp / > ls
pub/
ncftp /pub > ls
cygwin/ mth496/
ncftp /pub/cygwin > ls
Xbin.tgz Xfsrv.tgz Xps.tgz
Xdoc.tgz Xhtml.tgz Xvfb.tgz
Xetc.tgz Xjdoc.tgz Xxserv.tgz
Xf100.tgz Xlib.tgz build.sh
Xfcyr.tgz Xman.tgz move.sh
Xfenc.tgz Xnest.tgz release/
Xfnts.tgz Xprog.tgz setup.ini
Xfscl.tgz Xprt.tgz startup-scripts.tgz
Cheers
