flexfax: client access ?

[Brad Larden <bsl@ausgate.cvsi.com>]

Hi All,

I am just wondering whether I have lost the plot or am I just doing 
something wrong ?

What I am trying to do is use the ftp hyperlinks that are sent in the 
mail notification after receiving a fax to view/download the tif 
file.
What I get is as follows;

Squid sent the following FTP command:
RETR fax00021.tif
and then received this reply
fax00021.tif: Operation not permitted.

This is from a windows machine using IE4, the same result is achived 
when using the 'server' and ftp ing localhost 4559.
Is this not an intended feature ??

I have poked around with the /etc/hosts file as suggested in the FAQ 
and the hfaxd man page. Either I am misreading something or it is not 
designed for this purpose.

Can anyone shed any light on this one please ?

Oh, if I ftp localhost 4559, I am able to move around in the chroot 
directory structure and 'ls' the directories, so I am gaining access 
to the area, I just can't download the files.
Also, I am running HylaFax (the latest rpm format installation) on a 
RedHat 5.2 Linux X86 machine.


Regards,
Brad.
