Sorry, my fault. The patch did work. I had forgotten I had left the nopasv 
option in the configuration file. This made the firewall block it. I assume 
the EPSV command is required by my ISP.

Thank you for your help. Sitecopy is a great help to me. I have a web site 
with well over 2000 files and ftp operations regularly time out. It is the 
only way I can reliably update all the files. Repeating the --update command 
a few times eventually gets me there.
