That's interesting.

FileZilla is a staple prog here for many years.  It just doesn't  
seem to want to work with TRMB BBS.

Meanwhile, I just learned that the CLI version of ftp doesn't  
work with TRMB from my Win7(64) laptop at home.  SO... this  
indeed is a mystery to me 'cuz I don't have a problem using  
FileZilla or CLI ftp with other servers.

My solution will be this: configure my remote Win7(64) desktop  
pc to "get trmb.qwk" and then either "put trmb.qwk" to an ftp  
server that I can access from my XP pc, or email the file from a  
script.
