[Sheflug] FTP problem

["David Morris" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Below is the transcript from an FTP session. I'm confused about the '421
Service not available' becasue it quite plainly is because the file transfer
happens, as can be seen from later on in the transcript, and the ~monroeit
directory backs that up. So, has anyone any idea what the 421 errors relate
to?

Additionally, I've just run the relevant script on the machine here (the
transcripted session is being initiated from somewhere in North Carolina)
and I don't get the '421' error.

331 Password required for monroeit.
230 User monroeit logged in.  Access restrictions apply.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Verbose mode on.
