Which is totally irrelevant, since it is about FTP urls. That part is RFC-compliant and still works. Why do people think that just because you can use the same (rather poor) all-singing-all-dancing tool to access certain services, then these must be the same thing? Oh wait, there are still people who think that it is the "www" in the name that makes a web server... (It seems Netscape founders really made some bad chioces way back then when they decided to integrate several tools into their web browser. Just to make it easier on the layman user... now there is a whole generation that thinks that the Internet is pretty much what's in the browser. Brrrr.) Regards: Sz.
