I have been able to do a little more investigation as to when the problem occurs. Here is what the symptom appears as: When I try with ws_ftp to connect to the server, and then do a list command it gives me an error saying "The application failed to initialize properly (unix). Click on OK to terminate the application." That was word for word what I said in one of my previous messages, however I have since then learned that the only client software for FTP that it works with is the cygwin, and unix command line ftp clients that I have tried. However the Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator FTP and WS_FTP (Pro and LE) that I use more often than anything all fail and cause that message above to appear on my computer (the server). I am glad to run any debug commands on my computer if that will help. If the issue ends up being fixed by a new release of one of the software packages, I will be happy. I even tried rolling back to the previous releases of the cygwin part that I thought applied (cygwin and inetutils). The FTP server that I am trying to use is the default one contained in the cygwin packages. I appreciate any help not only because it would cause the part of my software to work that isn't currently. But I will also be thankful because the FTP server that I use as a backup is part of IIS. I prefer to use the cygwin one because it allows more flexibility as to what the directory structure looks like and also the file permissions, possibly more but I don't know yet.
