Or is it simply that 'ls' is disabled? Hi Chuck, It's still there and updated every day. You just can't browse it :-( I had some problems with people over in russia doing a recursive wget on the entire time machine. My uplink isn't very big, so it ran constantly for days (causing some horrible performance lags on my side) before I decided I had to force the connection and disable all listing functions. So, you can't 'ls' the directories anymore. But, if you know the layout of the repository (full file path) you can certainly get the files themselves. The CTM was originally setup to be used by the Cygwin Setup program. Since the setup.ini has the file paths it can get the files without any problems. > -- > Chuck -- Peter A.
