ftp using pppd

Dear All

I have the following problem when I am connected via ethernet then ftp works
fine, but when I connect using pppd it fails. Everything else seems to work
with pppd as I can connect to the remote using pditto and I can connect
using http and telnet what do I need to tell me what is happening.

I have syslogd running and it tels me that I connect to the remote but I get
a 221 and it says that you could at least say goodbye or something similar.

Any ideas would be greatfully accepted

This happens when ftpd expects to read data according to the
protocol but the other end has closed the socket unexpectedly.

What is the client? Do other client OS’s act similarly?

The client and the server are both the same computers running rtp6.2 wether
I am using ethernet or ppp.

Is there a timeout that I need to increase to allow for any delays using
ppp.

With ethernet I get

16:04:03 nto ftpd connection from xxxxx to yyyyy
16:04:03 nto ftpd <— 220
16:04:03 nto ftpd yyyyy FTP server ready
16:04:03 nto ftpd command: USER ftp
16:04:03 nto ftpd <— 331
16:04:03 nto ftpd password required for ftpuser
etc

but on ppp I only get

16:04:03 nto ftpd connection from xxxxx to yyyyy
16:04:03 nto ftpd <— 220
16:04:03 nto ftpd yyyyy FTP server ready
16:04:03 nto ftpd <— 221
16:04:03 nto ftpd You could at least say goodbye

I assume the server issues the command USER ftp, what could be causing the
client to drop off line so quickly.

Thanks for your help so far.
