ftp help.....

[Ben Beeson]

Aloha all,

	I need some help debugging a scripted ftp session designed to fetch 
updated virus signature files.  The script used to work, but now, not so 
well.... The errors returned are cryptic to me at least.  Here is the 
output of the script...



[root at VALinux uvscan]# ./GetMcAfeeUpdates

My .netrc file is here:

macdef init
cd pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x

mget dat-*.tar

[root at VALinux uvscan]#         

I have figured out that the likely source of the problem is generated by 
the mget command. However, the man page doesn't give me much help in 
figuring out what's the problem.  My question is what could cause the 
"Invalid PORT command" message and the "ftp: bind: Address already in 
use" error messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Ben
