Hi Jim,
As being the one who wrote the networking code for Opera, I can tell you
it's possible to receive files via FTP using Open Transport.
Apparently my question was not clear. Fetch (and other FTP clients
using the OT APIs) work fine on Jaguar almost all of the time. I'm
trying to figure out one particular user's problem. In this
situation OT-based FTP clients fail but the BSD-based command line
client and Classic clients don't. It isn't a matter of making the
wrong API calls or getting OT errors -- the data connections just
aren't going through.
So I am trying to figure out why connections made with one API go
through while identical connections made with another API don't.
Since the TCP packets should be indistinguishable on the wire, I'm
left with the hypothesis that some sort of firewall software on the
Jaguar machine is interacting with OT-originated traffic and not BSD
traffic. I'm asking the experts on the list whether they've seen
such a thing, or even whether it's theoretically possible.
To put the question another way, is there a way (short of a clean
install) that the user can make sure that no third party software is
affecting his network traffic? Something like restarting with the
Mac OS Base extension set in 8.x and 9.x?
Thanks,
