Please help me solve an ftp client error

[bill at horne.net (Bill Horne)]

Thanks for reading this.

I've just installed a new Debian Sarge machine, and am puzzled by errors 
I'm getting when I use the ftp client.

I ran ftp -p -d -v myhost.org, and the client started with an error of 
"setsockopt: Bad file descriptor". I was able to log into the host, but 
when I entered an "ls" command, the client responded with "setsockopt 
(ignored): Permission denied". It then prints "227 Entering Passive 
Mode", and stalls, with no further output until timeout some minutes later.

I'm able to transfer files to and from myhost.org using a Windows client 
and the MS Ftp program, so I think the problem lies in the ftp client 
that Sarge has installed.

All suggestions welcome.

Bill
