I'm hoping that it's just like the UNIX one, which has passive mode, if I'm not mistaken. So in order to build the source that I obtained from GNU, I installed the latest version of DJGPP (set my environment variables and path, and downloaded/installed the socket libraries). A hello world program compiles, but I can't make ftp using the makefile that comes with the ftp source. I get the following error on line 15: "Separator missing". Unfortunately, I'm no makefile expert so I don't have a clue what's going wrong. Is it even possible to compile GNU source using DJGPP? (I would think so.) There are two makefiles that come with the ftp source: makefile.in and makefile.am. What are these and do I need to tweak them to work wth DJGPP? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Craig
