Networking / Re: Using FTP client from OS/2 guest installation in Virtualbox run. on win10 host

Hallo Ian,
thanks for your info. In fact, I have been playing around with active vs. passive FTP and yes, Hobbes definitely requires passive FTP to work at all.
But it turns out that the Hobbes FTP server is the problem. I can logon to other FTP servers (IBM, for example) without any problem and browse and switch directories, read files etc.
The only FTP client that works reliably with Hobbes these days seems to be Filezilla under Windows 10. I do not know what magic it does, but it works. What I am going to do is to place my USB driver ZIP into a Windows directory that I have made visible via the guest extensions (the .IFS driver) and then I can send it via Filezilla from Windows 10.
I don't know what they did to the Hobbes FTP server. In the last 20 years before, I did not have a problem. But in the last 2 years, it has become increasingly difficult to upload files.
