I am fiddling around with trying to get ange-ftp to play nice with the default ftp server on the IBM iSeries / AS400. What seems to be happening is that ange-ftp insists on getting a directory listing of the root library (`qsys.lib') and the problem is that this operation take /forever and a day/. So, two questions: is there a good way to turn off this functionality? Can ange-ftp just cd to wherever you need and do its thing, rather than cd / ls / cd / ls ... its way along the directory structure? I tried looking at the code a bit, but ange-ftp is /huge/! Anfd second, can anyone tell my why ange-ftp does this? is it a safety thing somehow? Thanks. -- þ theron tlax þ
