Re: FTP Exit Program an IE

I've been trying to run tests and can't get consisten
results.  On another V5R3 machine that has no exit programs
installed I get the folder listings messed up in IE (ie the
owner seems to be the name of the folder).

Yet on the client's machine it appears to work fine once
the exit programs are removed.  On the V5R3 machine I'm
testing on I can't get it to work right even without any
exit programs on the machine.  Tried all the different
CHGFTPA comands, parms, etc...

Weird one!
