| Stephen Brooks 2003-03-22 07:21:20 | It's possible your dialup ISP blocks FTP transfers because FTP is sometimes used in primitive hacking attempts (port-scanning). If this is the case, I can't really do much about it. However it would be helpful if you could say how exactly the send fails - can you get the FTP window up to see what's happening - i.e., is it a timeout or is the connection refused?

| vaughan 2003-03-23 14:45:17 | Hi Stephen, I get the message: ICMP network unreachable for 9 out of the 10 attempts. Then I get currently offline will try again later. Vaughan Crunching for |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-03-23 15:25:10 | Well suffice it to say I've never seen that message appear in an FTP window before. Can you access other sites via FTP using dialup? Today's weather in %region is Sunny/(null), max. temperature -99999°C |
| vaughan 2003-03-24 18:54:46 | No. I tried to d/l Dnetc using ftp and I get: An FTP connection could not be established. Looks as if I'll have to do some tweaking. Thanks. Crunching for |
| vaughan 2003-03-26 00:51:21 | Using manualsend.exe deletes the results.txt file and causes no work to be sent and it seems to be lost also. I have altered my desktop shortcut to use the file manualsend_daemon.exe hoping this will sort out the problem. |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-03-26 04:40:51 | The manualsend program ought to rename the results file to something else (with a load of numbers in it) and then I programmed it to only delete that temporary file if it can make contact with the FTP server. Otherwise your results might still be there but in a different file. Today's weather in %region is Sunny/(null), max. temperature -99999°C |
