to be 2.8.5 does not properly display the subdirectories below the default
one you find at ftp.symantec.com . A right arrow key does not bring you to a
new directory but merely to an information screen for lynx. The version that
xnet.com runs works properly and one can see the subdirectory called AVDEFS
when you arrive at ftp.symantec.com .
Do have any indication as to why this doesn't work? I have resorted to using
It's hanging because of some bug in lynx's passive-ftp support,
which can be disabled by setting
FTP_PASSIVE:false
in lynx.cfg (though why that works for _most_ sites but not this one,
I'll have to investigate further).
