Some versions of FTP have a security feature that prevents people with non-standard shells from using FTP. This is so things like uucp accounts and finger accounts can't ftp files. Sometimes putting the shell you're using into /etc/shells is enough to convince these FTPs that your shell is standard, and things start working again. -- Doug DeJulio dd26@andrew.cmu.edu
