230-Welcome to the O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. FTP Archive. Local date and time: Sun Apr 27 20:44:38 2008 --> Hello 84.198.68.117 <-- --> There are 4 users out of 100 allowed in your usage class. <-- Check out our public web server at http://www.oreilly.com --> Please Note!! <-- If you're using an FTP client in "active" mode and you're behind a firewall, you will be unable to list directories. To do so requires that the server initiate a data connection back to your client on a port that could be blocked by your firewall configuration. Attempts to list directories or retrieve files under these conditions will result in a message similar to the following: Can't build data connection: Connection refused. Depending on your FTP client software, it may be possible to toggle from active to passive mode. If it isn't possible, we suggest using a recent version of Netscape's browser, which runs in passive mode by default. Use this URL: ftp://ftp.oreilly.com thank you. ftpmaster@oreilly.com 230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp>
