Re: PTFs for FTP (v7.1)?

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

If he is initiating the connection, he is the client _you_ are the server...

FTP server and client are completely independent.

I suspect a network issue...

Have him try FTP'ing from his i to a PC server on your network.
Have him try FTP'ing from a PC to your i.

I seem to recall reading of performance issues when IP6 was
basically partially enabled on a network (or on the i).  IIRC, IP6 is
prefered at 7.1 (6.1?) so the system keeps trying to use it and ends up
having to wait till the request fails to fallback to IP4.

HTH,
Charles
