Ff3 problem with UUNET FTP

[PostmanPot]

Hi all

I can get in to /pub/incoming no problem, but as soon as I try go to a folder I get prompted for user name/password?

anonymous/anonymous, guest/guest etc. don't work.

Anyone else experiencing this, more importantly has anyone got a fix?

Thanks.

works for me too... which folders are you trying to open... and what is in them?

Nothing of interest guys.

What happens if you go to ftp://ftp.uunet.co.za/pub/incoming then once there, add the folder name to the end of the address in the address bar and press enter?

That's when I get an error.

I seem to be able to access folders if I go directly to the folder name i.e. ftp://ftp.uunet.co.za/pub/incoming/foldername but I can't access folders by editing the address?

Works fine for me, I went to ftp://ftp.uunet.co.za/pub/incoming

then after it loaded, I just typed /myadsl at the end and it went into the myadsl folder

come on PP... you have found a hidden cache of Maja the Bee episodes haven't you???

Figured out what the problem was - was using a proxy that helps load YouTube videos.

Using cache.saix.net and all okay now.

Nothing special guys, if I happen to find something special I'll add it to the UUNET FTP thread I created a while ago.

disable the SAIX proxy before trying to log into your router.

disable the SAIX proxy before trying to log into your router.

Or just add you router IP Address in the "No Proxy for" box.
