Re: ftp://ftp.dekko.com

hi Rob,

On my Mac, I opened up a Terminal window, and typed:

ftp ftp.dekko.com

This worked fine. I got the sign-on as expected with any command-line FTP.

I also tried it within Firefox on my Mac, and that also immediately 
prompted me for a sign-on.

It did not, however, seem to work within Safari (Apple's browser).
