Yep - tried both. And I was wrong about using a port... Grrr. Here's my current test script... rebol: [] x: err: try [read [ scheme: 'ftp host: "..." user: "..." pass: "..." path: %/d/ ]] probe x and this is the error I get if there's nothing in the d directory...

make object! [ code: 501 type: 'access id: 'not-open arg1: "Port^@" arg2: none arg3: none near: [read [ scheme: 'ftp host: "..." user: "..." pass: "..." path: %/d/ ]] where: 'parse-dir-list ] Put a file in the d directory and it works fine! I'm picking there's something wrong with parse-dir-list, which you can look at using source, but it's code is way beyond me. -- Carl Read
