Silicon Graphics ftp Bug

[Bates TAD/HRNAB ms294 x2601]

   In referece to Michael Cohen's message: YES.  ftp, along with just about
everything else on the IRIS's, doesn't work properly.  People at NASA Ames
have supposedly come up with a fix, however, it works only marginally better.
Silicon Graphics makes great hardware, but, the software stinks!  and their
documentation is worse.  I have used BETA test site software that works
better.
   I don't know who you should talk to at Ames to see if you can get their
ftp.  I think they are suppose to have an improved telnet too.
Good luck.
