When I try to fetch
file://speech1.cs.cmu.edu/usr0/hamps/public/thesis/thesis.prelims.ps.Z
using OmniWeb version 1, PR-1, I get the following NXRunAlertPanel
failure message:
================================================
Can't Access Document
ftp://speech1.cs.cmu.edu/usr0/hamps/public/thesis/thesis.prelims.ps.Z
Reason: FTP-server replies Access not allowed for guest users for path "usr0".
Here is a hint... If you know the full name, starting with "/" of the path or
directory that you want, try to cd there in one step rather than taking
little steps in between. Those intermediate directories are sometimes
protected. Or perhaps you are already in the appropriate directory. Use the
pwd command to get the current directory.
================================================
If I anonymously ftp to speech1.cs.cmu.edu and do a
cd /usr0/hamps/public/thesis, I get access to this public directory
without any problems, as expected.
One possible explanation for OmniWeb's inability to access the directory
is that OmniWeb does a series of cd's to get to the final directory.
In that case, the failure is accurately explained by the
NXRunAlertPanel message.
Does anyone know if this is the case?
If it is, can the OmniWeb ftp protocol be altered so that
it does the cd in one fell swoop?
Thanks,
-John
