[Zope] FTP hangage

[Jason Earl]

I hope you don't mind that I re-directed this back to the list.

Doh, W2K! Darn, I even read that in your post.  It *would* work, if
W2K's ftp command had a switch that allowed it to use passive mode.  A
quick search of knowledge base turns up:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q271/0/78.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=passive%20ftp&rnk=3&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=WIN2000

The gist of the article is:

        The FTP clients that ship with Windows do not support passive
        mode. Therefore, they always need to negotiate a data port
        when issuing a command that returns data.

Never fear, however.  It appears that you aren't the only poor soul
that has been in this situation.  In fact, a quick google search
turned up some instructions on the GNU website that shows you how to
get around the unfortunate problems with Window's screwed up ftp
client.

Basically, you need to download a different ftp client (there's a link
in on this page) and tell Emacs to use it.

Good luck,
Jason
