Hi all,
I have tried to connect to windows ftp server from my linux machine and I have a poblem.
I regulary logged on to the ftp server on windows machine with user/password, but when I have tried to change directory to the existing folder I get the message:
ftp> cd LoaderMain
550 LoaderMain: The network address could not be used for the operation requested.

I have treid same steps from windows client and everything passed ok.
Example:
ftp> cd LoaderMain
250 CWD command successful.

Is there some specific sintax to change directory on linux ftp cilent?
Thanks,
Best regards,
Dragan

could it be a firewall issue??
sounds like ftp data commands are not being allowed.
maybe you need to switch to passive mode on the linux ftp client??
