The permissions on the 'trunk' directory are currently set to.....

drwx-----x

This prevents both 'group' and 'world' from reading the dir, and it
prevents 'group' from executing it.

'trunk/dos' and 'trunk/os2' are both set correctly as....

drwxr-xr-x

Everything _should_ work correctly if you change the permissions on
'trunk' to...... drwxr-xr-x

BTW,

Dos ftp also does not list the trunk dir upon 1st logging-in

We must cd to trunk and then an ls command lists dos & os2

We can then cd to dos and an ls shows the single file EMAILARA.ZIP

I had the same trouble using LeapFTP in Win98

1st access did not show a dir listing for 'trunk'

had to manually cd to trunk and then the dir listing showed dos and os2

It is a similar situation with Mozilla SeaMonkey.....
http://cisnet.com/glennmcc/wrong-permissions.gif

SeaMonkey was able to list the dos & os2 dirs when accessing
ftp://ftp.wisdomtree.info/trunk/ but was unable to list the trunk dir
when accessing ftp://ftp.wisdomtree.info/

BTW2,

http://wisdomtree.info/ has an incorrect link to....
ftp://ftp.wisdomtree.info/dos/emailara.zip

The correct link is......
ftp://ftp.wisdomtree.info/trunk/dos/EMAILARA.ZIP
