Problem Accessing ftp Site


zanemay

Recommended Posts

My modem is not working after installing AOL.

 

There is a patch available at

 

ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/bp_thinkpad/mwregfix.exe

 

However, I get an instant "page cannot be displayed error" when I try this site. It is recommended as the easy fix in several sites I have found. It seems to be the only source for the patch. Is there something special about accessing ftp sites?

 

Thanks,

Zane

I checked this for you using the command-line ftp. The file is not there and in fact the directory is corrupt on their server.

 

>ftp ftp.pc.ibm.com
