[lug] ftp question

[Steve Sullivan]

Hi,

When I use anonymous ftp to a NOAA site I get odd results.

If I try from home over comcast:
  ftp -p tgftp.nws.noaa.gov
and issue "ls", it works fine.

But if I try a different NOAA site:
  ftp -p ftp.emc.ncep.noaa.gov
and issue "ls", it hangs.

But both of these NOAA sites work fine from my work.
It seems to be some interaction between that particular
NOAA site and comcast or my home computer.
I've tried it with and without -p, and found the same odd results.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve
