Does anyone have a recommendation as to a particular FTP implemetation that
seems to work best with G4L, or is the Microsoft FTP Publishing service (on
XP) acceptable.
Thanks

I've had issues with the microsoft ftp server not working on machines, but
I've heard some have it work, so don't know why some versions of it work with
the ncftp and others don't. On an NT 2000 server it did not work, but
filezilla server worked just fine. Never had a problem with that. With Linux
I've used the vsftp server and others have used proftp.
I wish I knew what the issue was with Microsoft servers, but have seen that
g4u also had the same issues with it in some messages, so for windows I
recommend filezilla.

I'm curious about this as well. With the latest release (fresh download today,
10/15/11), I cannot connect to another of my own boxes using ftp.
ftp 192.168.0.234 -u moi -p mypass
boxname FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2(1) Mon Oct 18 02:07:32 UTC 2010) Ready.
Login Incorrect.
Sleeping 20 seconds...
^C
I get this same result or similar with or without a password. When I try
without -p/-u, my server doesn't even think for a moment to prompt me for a
username. So far, I've tried proftpd, wu-ftpd, and vsftpd with similar
results. (In every case, I can ftp to them using my account on the box from
another pc, just not from one booted from this g4l disc.)
What am I doing wrong here? I want to back up a system partition on a laptop
to an image file on this ftp server?
additional note I did stumble over getting it to work.. I think. ;)

Format for the ncftp that is used by g4l is incorrect.
ncftp -u moi -p mypass 192.168.0.234
(ftp is linked to ncftp)
Usage: ncftp
Flags:
-u XX Use username XX instead of anonymous.
-p XX Use password XX with the username.
-P XX Use port number XX instead of the default FTP service port (21).
-j XX Use account XX with the username (rarely needed).
-F Dump a sample $HOME/.ncftp/firewall prefs file to stdout and exit.
With the format you used, it would try to login using the anonymous user.
Second issues.
Have never used the wu server with g4l?
What does the log file on the server show?
Does the password included any special characters that might be getting
converted via the command line?
Had an issue in the past where a user had a $ in the password, and it was
causing issues.
Say your password is pa$$word. One would have to use pa\$\$word.

First thing that is probable issue.
