When you post to this newsgroup, please don't give us
useless summaries like "tried ... to no avail". Post the
exact command you used, and what then appeared on your
screen.

I say that because many of us might think of using our
crystal balls instead of guessing what you might have typed,
but we can't, the Dept. of Homeland Security having disabled
all U.S. crystal balls this year.

OTOH, if my ftp server has political leanings that would
preclude access by anyone whose name appears to be
"george.bush", then I need to re-examine wu-ftpd source code
carefully to eliminate any such perverse bias.

Logged in on a foreign computer, I can perfectly well
type 'ftp ftp.jpr.com' and bring up my own ftp server.
Furthermore, /var/adm/xferlog shows ftp transfers succeeded
from ftp.jpr.com at 2:26, 8:49, and 11:36 on Oct. 8.
