//Hello Wilfred,//

 WvV> And that is the response I get to every command I tried...


 WvV> So although, as Bart claims, your ftp server is not offline, but it's

 WvV> much more convenient to get the nodelist (and other files)...


 very accurate description of the problem Wilfred.
 if he forces to bind the ftp serer to ipv4 the problem should be solved I think.
 or rent a webhosting.
