Hi Holger,
GF>Check on Hobbes. It's been there for a couple'a months now.

While it is "standard" practise to use your Email address as a password for
anonymous FTP sessions, many FTP Servers will actually try and check that the
Email address exists or is valid for the site that is used. Although there are
various ways of doing this, one of the most common is by using the "finger"
command to see if the provided address is valid. If your ISP does not support
"finger", then that rejection may be taken as an indication of a non existing
Email address by the Server and reject the session.
I hope this helps............pk.
