Hi Ray.

I'm not sure what the problem is -- ftp still functions, right?  It
seems to me that you have an older ftp client connecting to a newer
ftp server (or vice versa) and that the message you pointed out is
simply one of the status messages generated while the two determine
each others capabilities.   I have this happen between different OSes
and ftp server/clients generally after I've upgraded one or two.

Is there something specific that fails after you log in?
