[time-nuts] Re: FTP with Trimble NetRS

[John Ackermann N8UR]

Hi Skip --

I have had no trouble FTPing into two NetRSs from a Linux command line 
ftp program.  A couple of config settings might be important if you 
haven't checked them:

Under "Internet/FTP" make sure "Anonymous FTP" is enabled with 
appropriate access rights.

Under "Security" make sure the file access rights are set to 
"Unrestricted", and that it's set to listen on port 21.
