I can't explain the problem fully, but maybe I can focus it a little.
It would appear that REBOL thinks ftp_xing is the entire address you're trying to connect
to, using port [carpet12--19--105--186--51] or port carpet12, which I bet don't exist. (-:
Confront these (broken for clarity):
ftp:// ftp_xing : [carpet12--19--105--186--51]
ftp:// ftp.null.com : 1234
I guess (since I don't know how REBOL's FTP works internally) the write-io is just necessary
to *send* username, password and generally commands to the FTP server. After all, you
have to send them somehow, no? :-)
