I've tried it with both a blank FTP command and with it specified as
/usr/bin/ftp. I believe that /usr/bin/ftp is the default, but it seems
to take longer before erroring out if I specify it. This behaviour
confuses me that much more. Is there a ftp command that works better
with FixDist that I don't know about?

Thanks,

--Matt

Matt,

The server address looks correct.  In the past when I have had this
problem, it was because the FTP command wasn't specified under
"Options"
