dexter11 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 8 FTP weird server reply. The server sent data curl couldn't parse. Try another server. Or if that doesn't solve it than you can use wget instead of curl (--wget). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwah Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Or if that doesn't solve it than you can use wget instead of curl (--wget). Or you can change to use wget instead of curl via MCC, open MCC/Select from where software packages....../Global Options/ then select wget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
